A study to identify the various levels of job satisfaction amidst doctors working in Coimbatore City Hospitals

Job satisfaction is the level of contentment a person feels regarding his or her job. Job satisfaction can be influenced by a person's ability to complete required tasks, the level of communication in an organization, and the way management treats employees. There are two different levels of job satisfaction: affective job satisfaction and cognitive job satisfaction. Affective job satisfaction is a person's emotional feeling toward the job. Cognitive job satisfaction is how satisfied a person feels concerning an aspect of his or her job, such as pay, hours, or benefits. It is not always easy to measure job satisfaction as the definition of satisfaction can be different for different people. Overall job satisfaction is actually a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction: Intrinsic job satisfaction is when workers consider only the kind of work they do, the tasks that make up the job. Extrinsic job satisfaction is when workers consider the conditions of work, such as their pay, coworkers, and supervisor. Hence a study was conducted to measure the extent level of job satisfaction among doctors working in Coimbatore City.
