| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 醫療機構管理研究所 === 97 === In recent years, more and more females entered the medical job field. However, only a few of them reached to a higher level. Researches indicate that, in Taiwan and other countries, female physicians suffered from sex discrimination, work-family (family-work) conflict, lack of mentors, heavy work overload, and low control of work environment. It is a paradox that no matter how difficult the situation is, almost all female physicians are satisfied with their careers.
The research divided female physicians in four generations, and selected the ones who work in regional hospitals or medical centers in urban area, and surveyed with mailing questionnaires. The response rate was 30.7%, and multiple regression was used to acknowledge what the main factor to career satisfaction was.
The research found that work-family conflict (family-work conflict) was the main factor to affect career satisfaction. Female physicians who feel more conflict would feel less satisfied. And younger physicians were less satisfied than senior physicians, because they needed to pay more attention to childcare.All kinds of mentors and awareness of gender equality were helpless with career satisfaction.
According to the result, it is recommended that Law of Gender Equality should be implemented completely. Hospitals could corporate with National Nanny Association to ask for help. In long-term, government should enhance the education of gender equality. Also, hospitals could increase work flexibility for female physicians to utilize female physicians’ use of time.
