Abstract:
Objective: To explore the effects of effort-reward imbalance (ERI) at work on the occupational burnout, job satisfaction and turnover intention of doctors in public hospitals. Methods: By using self-designed questionnaires to in-vestigate job attitude, this paper adopts a stratified random sampling method to select 1910 doctors from public hospitals in Jinan, Weifang and Dezhou cities based on the level of economic development in Shandong province. The data are ana-lyzed using descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis, etc. Results: The effort-reward imbal-ance at work exists in the surveyed public hospitals. The job effort of doctors is 1. 39 ± 0. 37 times higher than job reward. The effort-reward imbalance at work has positive predictive effects on occupational burnout, negative predictive effects on job satis-faction, and positive predictive effects on turnover intention. Conclusions:Public hospital administrators should improve the ef-fort-reward ratio of doctors in order to stabilize doctors' professional attitude at work and enhance their morale.
