  • Assessing job satisfaction is crucial for understanding physician well-being.
  • Danish general practitioners (GPs) represent a key segment of primary healthcare providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current level of job satisfaction among Danish general practitioners (GPs).
  • To identify factors influencing job satisfaction in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • A nationwide survey was distributed to 458 registered general practitioners (GPs) in Denmark.

  • Danish GPs exhibit high overall job satisfaction.
  • Key satisfaction drivers include collegial relationships, autonomy, and workload.
  • Remuneration and working hours were identified as primary sources of dissatisfaction.
  • Lower job satisfaction correlated with increased desire for early retirement and longer working hours.
  • Danish GPs reported higher job satisfaction than their Norwegian and British counterparts, excluding remuneration.

Conclusions:

  • Overall job satisfaction among Danish GPs is high, exceeding international comparisons.
  • Job satisfaction is a significant factor in GP retention, with dissatisfaction linked to early retirement intentions.
