摘要

Objective

To examine the relationship between personality traits and job satisfaction among physicians working in designated infectious disease medical institutions in Gansu Province, and to clarify the mediating role of negative coping strategies in this association. The study aims to deepen the understanding of psychological mechanisms underlying physicians’ job satisfaction in high-risk medical settings and to provide evidence-based guidance for targeted management and intervention strategies.

Method

A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among physicians employed at designated infectious disease medical institutions in Gansu Province. Data on personality traits, negative coping strategies, and job satisfaction were collected, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the direct and indirect relationships among these variables.

Results

Neuroticism exhibits a negative influence on job satisfaction, whereas conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness, and extraversion demonstrate a positive impact on job satisfaction.Negative coping styles exert a detrimental influence on physicians’ job satisfaction. Neuroticism among physicians positively correlates with negative coping styles, whilst conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness and extraversion exhibit negative correlations with such coping styles.Passive coping mediates the relationship between doctors’ personality traits and job satisfaction.

Conclusion

Personality traits influence physicians’ job satisfaction both directly and indirectly through coping strategies, with negative coping playing a key mediating role. These findings suggest that interventions targeting coping styles, together with organizational support tailored to individual personality characteristics, may be effective approaches to improving physicians’ job satisfaction and professional well-being in designated infectious disease medical institutions.
