摘要
The aim was to develop and validate a measure of job satisfaction among family physicians. The construct of job satisfaction was developed theoretically, then the semantic network technique was used for the construction of the items. 80 semantic differential items in a random order were related by nine physicians. Four dimensions integrated the construct: ''job satisfaction,'' ''health institution where I work,'' ''my patients,'' and ''myself as a doctor.'' The average Cronbach alpha was 81. Ln the factor analysis, four factors were obtained in each dimension except that of ''my patients,'' for which two were obtained. These factors accounted for at least 44% of the construct developed. The semantic network technique may be useful.
