Abstract
Present study explored the relationship of personality traits and hospital characteristics with work values of junior doctors in the context of public and trust hospitals. NEO-Five Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae. 1992), Hospital Characteristics Questionnaire (Tepeci, 2001), and Work Values Questionnaire (Elizur. Borg, Hunt, & Beck, 1991) were administered on a sample of 200 junior doctors. Personality traits explained Cognitive, Affective, and work values of junior doctors working in the trust- hospitals more robustly (27% - 50%) than those in the public- hospitals (11% - 14%). Agreeableness and Conscientiousness emerged as the major personality traits in all doctors. However, Quality of service and Compensation]benefits, as hospital characteristics, were perceived as salient to trust-hospitals more than public-hospitals in influencing work values.
