Abstract: Background: Physicians are the assets of any healthcare organization. Efficient human resource management and maintaining higher job satisfaction level of physicians determine not only the performance but also affect the growth and performance of the entire health sectors. So, it is essential to keep them satisfied for the success of the health sector as well as the prosperity of the economy. It is very important to handle human resources effectively and to find out whether they are satisfied or not. Only if they are satisfied, they will work with commitment and project a positive image of the healthcare organization. Methodology: In this study, the job satisfaction between private and public sector physicians was compared using a cross-sectional design. I conducted the study from May to July 2019. A semi-structured questionnaire was carried out among 250 physicians of different public and private sector hospitals in Dhaka city. Data were stored and analyzed using SPSS to determine the job satisfaction level and its association with different factors. Result: The result of this study indicated that the mean score of overall job satisfaction in public sector hospitals (M = 126.94, SD = 5.96) was found to be higher than those in private sector hospital (M = 114.56, SD=5.31). The Independent sample t-test and linear regression analysis also revealed statistically significant.
