Abstract: During September to October 2016 a cross-section survey on job satisfaction of general practitioners (GPs) was conducted among 619 GPs who were randomly selected from 15 community health service centers/stations in Xicheng District of Beijing. The questionnaire used in the survey included items related to the satisfaction for salary, working environment, performance, equipment, performance assessment, professional promotion, training and respect degree; as well as the aspects that need to be improved. The overall satisfaction rate was 80.0% (495/619). The satisfaction of salary was the lowest (43.5%, 269/619), while the satisfaction of training was the highest (94.3%, 584/619). 93.2% (577/619) and 80.0% (495/619) of the participants felt that they were respected by the patients. The most desired aspects need to be improved were to increase personal income (95.6%, 592/619) and work ability (44.3%, 274/619). The survey indicates that attention should be paid to increase the income of primary care GPs in the future heathcare reform.
