Table 2.
Job satisfaction at T1 and T2 in different job positions (n = 291)
| Job satisfaction | Job satisfaction | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Position at T1-T2 | T1¹ | T22 | Difference |
| Mean (SD) | Mean (SD) | ||
| GP-GP (n = 43) | 58.2 (7.05) | 58.3 (7.19) | No sign diff |
| CS-CS (n = 57) | 52.6 (7.30) | 52.0 (8.71) | No sign diff |
| SHO-SHO (n = 14) | 49.4 (12.11) | 50.3 (9.56) | No sign diff |
| Res/PP-Res/PP (n = 9) | 56.2 (13.87) | 55.8 (12.04) | No sign diff |
| SHO-Other (n = 116) | 49.5 (7.83) | 52.8 (7.55) | t = 4.48*** |
| Any position~ -Other (n = 52)□ | 49.5 (9.62) | 53.0 (7.32) | t = 2.70** |

GP = general practitioner; CS = chief specialist; SHO = senior house officer; Res/PP = research work, teaching, private practice, administration, public health officer, and other occupation/leave
1 One-way ANOVA showed a significant difference between GP-GP and each of the other groups (except Res/PP-Res/PP, only n = 9) (F = 8.10, p < 0.001)
2 At T2 a one-way ANOVA showed a significant difference between GP-GP and each of the other groups (except Res/PP-Res/PP) (F = 4.31, p < 0.001)
~ Except SHO
□Here the largest groups are: research work/teaching to CS (n = 8), CS to private practice (n = 5), public health officer to GP (n = 4), public health officer to CS (n = 4), and research to SHO (n = 4)
