Part-time women general practitioners--workload and remuneration.

J Hooper, J Millar, P Schofield

    The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners
    |October 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Part-time women principals in group practices often perform a higher workload than their profit share suggests. This discrepancy, particularly for those with lower profit shares, leads to feelings of unfairness and reduced practice involvement.

    Area of Science:

    • General Practice
    • Healthcare Management
    • Women in Medicine

    Background:

    • Part-time work arrangements are increasingly common for women in medical practice.
    • Understanding the workload and remuneration balance for these professionals is crucial for equitable practice management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the workload and remuneration of part-time women principals with their full-time counterparts in group practices.
    • To identify factors contributing to perceived unfairness in profit share and workload distribution.

    Main Methods:

    • A postal questionnaire survey was distributed to women principals in the Northern and Oxford regions.
    • Workload data (daytime clinical work, out-of-hours work) were collected over a four-week period.
    • Respondents reported on their profit share and compared their workload to full-time partners.

    Main Results:

    • Part-time principals performed approximately 76% of the daytime clinical work of full-time partners, despite having lower profit shares (≤50% for two-thirds).
    • Discrepancies between workload and profit share increased as profit share decreased.
    • A significant percentage of part-time principals, especially those with <40% profit share, felt their remuneration was unfair.
    • Lack of involvement in practice business and perceived unequal influence were linked to feelings of unfairness.

    Conclusions:

    • Part-time women principals in group practices often experience a disproportionate workload relative to their profit share.
    • Addressing workload imbalances and promoting equitable involvement in practice management are essential for job satisfaction.
    • The findings highlight potential systemic issues in remuneration and practice governance for part-time female practitioners.
