A study was conducted on 140 junior doctors who were drawn randomly from public and private hospitals to identify determinants of their job satisfaction. A major hypothesis was that interaction of psychological distress, personality Type A/B and private versus public hospital work conditions would influence job satisfaction. These variables were measured through self report questionnaires. Three-way ANOVA indicated distress as a salient factor in the public hospital settings followed by personality-type in influencing job satisfaction. Experience emerged as a strong determiner of job satisfaction followed by interaction between distress, personality-type and experience in the private hospitals. Thus the hypothesis that kinds of conditions (public / private settings) and kinds of personality (A/B Type) would affect each other in determining job satisfaction of doctors was supported. Type-A behavior and distress of doctors might have been usefully exploited in the private hospitals. The nature of interaction among these variables, as estimated on the basis of marginal means of job satisfaction score, improved over time due to such work conditions in private hospitals as provided more opportunities for use of abilities and skills as reported in the job satisfaction questionnaire. There are several implications of the results towards improving level of job satisfaction among public sector doctors.
