Hierarchical Logistic Regressions Showing Odds for Physician Work Satisfaction, Intent to Leave Current Practice, and Personal Health Based on Total Self-Reported Compensation and Perceived Pay Fairness*
| More Satisfied with Current Work† n = 2196 |
Lower Likelihood of Leaving Current Practice† n = 2196 |
Better Overall Health Status† n = 2199 |

*All models included covariates of physician age, sex, race or ethnicity, medical specialty, practice setting, primary compensation, and employment type
†More satisfied with current work based on responses of “strongly agree” or “agree”; lower likelihood of leaving current practice based on responses of “none” or “slight”; better overall health status based on responses of “excellent” or “very good”
