Objective

2

To investigate the satisfaction with team construction and occupational burnout among postgraduate supervisors in clinical medicine in China

and to analyze the relationship of the above two factors with the willingness to hold a position again in the school.

Methods

2

A survey covering 3 409 postgraduate supervisors in clinical medicine across 33 colleges and universities was conducted. Analysis of variance

multiple linear regression analysis

and logistic regression analysis were performed to explore the relationship of satisfaction with team construction and occupational burnout with the willingness to hold a position again in the school among supervisors.

Results

2

In various dimensions of satisfaction with team construction among postgraduate supervisors in clinical medicine

the mechanism of selection scored the highest (4.74±0.53)

followed by indicators for selection (4.71±0.56)

supervisor training (4.66±0.58)

supervisor assessment (4.64±0.65)

incentives for teaching (4.61±0.65)

and career development (4.56±0.74). Indicators for selection (

OR

=2.121) and career development (

OR

=2.461) were positively correlated with supervisors' willingness

to hold a position again in the school. The degree of being cynical

one of the assessment dimensions of occupational burnout

played a partially mediating role between satisfaction with supervisor team construction and the willingness to hold a position again in the school.

Conclusions

2

Postgraduate supervisors in clinical medicine in China are generally satisfied with supervisor team construction. The degree of their satisfaction and occupational burnout influence their willingness to hold a position again in the school. Therefore

colleges and universities should optimize indicators for selection and provide more diverse career development opportunities for supervisors to enhance supervisors' satisfaction and loyalty.
