Abstract: Job satisfaction can be defined as the positive and negative emotions an employee associates with their job or the degree of happiness derived from their job (Singh, J.K., and Jain, M., 2013). Consequently, job satisfaction stands as one of the most extensively subjects in the field of organizational psychology (Spector, P.E., 1997). According to Locke (Locke, E., 1976), job satisfaction is the positive and enjoyable emotional state that results from assessing one’s job or job-related experiences. Previous studies have revealed that when an employee is content with their job, they are more likely to perform at their best to fulfill the organization’s objectives (Jalagat, R., 2016). Highly satisfied employees tend to exhibit regular attendance and punctuality, increased productivity, stronger commitment, and an overall sense of satisfaction in their lives (Lease, S.H., 1998). In addition to a great deal of responsibility, doctors frequently deal with difficult and complex situations (World Medical Association, Inc., 2015; European Junior Doctors Association, 2016). Over the past thirty years, stress in the medical industry has been intensively examined (Cooper et al.). Occupational stress is particularly high in the dental, medical, aviation, law enforcement, mining, and social work fields (Cooper et al., 1988). The strain in medicine comes from having to care for people instead of things and from knowing how much their actions affect other people’s lives (Caplan et al., 2017). Given that mistakes can have major consequences for patients as well as doctors, doctors’ competency is routinely assessed (Payne & Firth-Cozens, 1987).
