Determinants of Physicians' Job Satisfaction: A national multi-centre study from the Sultanate of Oman.

Overall, the job satisfaction rate was high. There was no difference among different groups of study participants, except for the working grade. Having a clinical postgraduate degree, a senior level of responsibility and good inter-professional relationship were associated with higher job satisfaction rates. The overall job satisfaction rates were higher for the quality of care and for ease of practice and lower for relationship with the leadership. Relationship with leadership is a modifiable factor and efforts at enhancing the physician-leadership relationship may lead to even higher satisfaction rates.
