Abstract

BACKGROUND Research is needed to gain a deeper understanding of what motivates physicians to do their work and what keeps them in the profession. OBJECTIVES To explore calling as an approach to work in a sample of physicians. METHODS We designed an online survey addressing career choice and career calling among physicians in French-speaking Switzerland, and measured associations between calling and categorical variables (participant characteristics, motivations for choosing medicine, career choice(s) and consistency, and definition of calling). RESULTS The majority of physicians (n = 229) reported that a calling was not a career motivator. The main reasons for becoming a physician were to be useful (n = 173), the scientific aspects of medicine (n = 168), and altruism (n = 153). Viewing medicine as a calling was significantly associated with having been attracted specifically and only to the medical career and stability of this career choice. Physicians defined a calling as internal summons (n = 140), passion (n = 126), and sense of purpose in life (n = 101). Being in the right place, internal summons, and passion were significantly more often considered as a definition for calling by physicians with a calling. CONCLUSIONS A sense of calling influences career choice and professional stability, and might play a protective role in exhaustion or dissatisfaction at work.

呼叫:从未见过或听说过——一项对瑞士医生的调查。
为了更深入地了解是什么激励医生从事他们的工作,是什么让他们留在这个行业,需要进行研究。目的探讨电话作为一种工作方式的医生样本。方法我们设计了一项关于瑞士法语区医生职业选择和职业召唤的在线调查,并测量了职业召唤和分类变量(参与者特征、选择医学的动机、职业选择和一致性以及职业召唤的定义)之间的关联。结果大多数医生(n = 229)认为职业召唤不是职业激励因素。成为医生的主要原因是有用(n = 173),医学的科学方面(n = 168)和利他主义(n = 153)。将医学视为一种职业,与被医学职业和这种职业选择的稳定性所吸引有着显著的联系。医生将召唤定义为内心召唤(n = 140)、激情(n = 126)和生活目标感(n = 101)。在正确的地方,内在召唤和激情更常被医生认为是一种召唤的定义。结论使命感影响职业选择和职业稳定性,并可能对工作倦怠和工作不满起到保护作用。

期刊介绍: Cognition, Technology & Work focuses on the practical issues of human interaction with technology within the context of work and, in particular, how human cognition affects, and is affected by, work and working conditions. The aim is to publish research that normally resides on the borderline between people, technology, and organisations. Including how people use information technology, how experience and expertise develop through work, and how incidents and accidents are due to the interaction between individual, technical and organisational factors. The target is thus the study of people at work from a cognitive systems engineering and socio-technical systems perspective. The most relevant working contexts of interest to CTW are those where the impact of modern technologies on people at work is particularly important for the users involved as well as for the effects on the environment and plants. Modern society has come to depend on the safe and efficient functioning of a multitude of technological systems as diverse as industrial production, transportation, communication, supply of energy, information and materials, health and finance.
