Abstract

The doctor's profession is considered as dignified as it is directly related to the lives of human beings. In Tamilnadu, there is a general inclination that in government hospitals, the patients are not treated adequately by the doctors, and Government doctors concentrate more on their private clinic. The study objective is to find out job stress, workload, and long working hours influencing job satisfaction among the government hospital Doctors of Tamilnadu. The study sample comprised of 250 doctors working in government hospitals in Nagapattinam Dist. 250 Questionnaires were distributed. From which 155 were received back and considered for data analysis. The data analysis tool is SPSS version 22. The study results concluded that long working hours and workload have a positive relationship with job satisfaction. Job stress has a negative relationship with a government doctor's job satisfaction.
