PG  - 242-51
AB  - Job dissatisfaction in doctors and teachers is known to have direct consequences 
      on the quality of service and teaching for patients and students respectively. A 
      cross-sectional study to assess dissatisfaction in lecturers of School of Medical 
      Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and Faculty of Medicine, Universiti 
      Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) was undertaken between August 2001 and May 2002. The 
      original English version of the Job Content Questionnaire (CQ) version 1.7 
      (revised 1997) by Robert Karasek was self-administered to 73 (response rate 
      58.4%) and 80 (response rate 41.7%) lecturers in the medical faculties of USM and 
      UKM, respectively. The prevalence of job dissatisfaction in USM and UKM lecturers 
      were 42.6% and 42.9%, respectively; the difference was not significant (p>0.05). 
      Risk factors of job dissatisfaction in USM lecturers were decision authority 
      (p<0.001) and psychological job demand (p<0.001). Significant risk factors of job 
      dissatisfaction in UKM lecturers were skill discretion (p<0.01) and psychological 
      job demand (p<0.001). We conclude that psychological job demand was a risk factor 
      of job dissatisfaction in both USM and UKM lecturers; in USM, decision authority 
      was protective, while in UKM, skill discretion was protective against job 
      dissatisfaction.
