Abstract: | This paper presents data on the characteristics, work activities, job-related stress, work satisfaction, and career aspirations
of 150 faculty and 595 housestaff physicians who regularly provide continuous primary care in 15 teaching hospital-based group
practices. The faculty were young, board-certified generalists; they had been recruited from local training programs and spent
the majority of their time seeing patients and supervising housestaff. Job satisfaction among faculty and housestaff was generally
high. Dissatisfaction occurred most often with aspects of work over which physicians had little control. Although work-related
stress was common, it was not related to job satisfaction. Compared with housestaff in traditional residency programs, housestaff
enrolled in special Primary Care Training Programs reported significantly greater job satisfaction. For all housestaff, satisfaction
with work in the group practice was consistently associated with decreased interest in subspecialty training.
