Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals clinical activity involvement correlates with higher job satisfaction in community pharmacists, suggesting expanded clinical roles support intrinsic motivation.

Key Points

To examine the relationship between involvement in clinical activities and job satisfaction among hospital and community pharmacists, and to evaluate how mismatches in extrinsic work factors affect satisfaction.
Conducted a nationwide cross-sectional survey of hospital and community pharmacists in Australia (N=392).
Applied Herzberg's two-factor theory to assess intrinsic factors (e.g., professional recognition) and extrinsic factors (e.g., salary, flexible work schedules).
Involvement in clinical activities was positively associated with job satisfaction among community pharmacists (β = 0.99, p = 0.01).
Job satisfaction was positively associated with intrinsic recognition, flexible scheduling, and salary, whereas a mismatch between actual and acceptable levels of extrinsic factors was negatively associated with satisfaction.
