A survey of present and former employees in selected
occupations in the Department of Medicine and Surgery of the
Veterans Administration concerned causes of job satisfaction or
dissatisfaction, reasons for accepting Covernment health care
jobs, and the probability of changing Jobs within a year.
Questionnaires were sent to 362 for2er employees, of whom 186
responded, and to 2,527 present employees, of whom 2,099
responded. Findings/Conclusions: Benefits and sal&ry were the
two principal reasons given by both former and present employee
respondents for accepting th- job. Other major reasons included
needing a job, venting to work in the Federal service, and
wanting to work in a health care career. The majority of both
former and present employee respondents were satisfied with
their salary and benefits. Job stability, the ability of fellow
workers, and the type of patients were aspects of the work
assignments with which most former and present employees were
satisfied. About 30% of the present employee respondents were
either undecided or anticipating a job change within the next
year. The major reasons for seeking a new job were wanting more
opportunities for promotion, needing a higher salary, wanting
more opportunities for career development, and wanting to get
more education or training. (SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacgw0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
