Purpose: This study aimed to investigate different aspects of job satisfaction (JS) among clinical research coordinators (CRCs) in South Korea. These aspects included the current status of and factors related to JS; the relationship between JS and the intention to stay; or the willingness to recommend the job to others.
Methods: A total of 509 CRCs were enrolled in this secondary data analysis study. Data were composed of general characteristics (4 items), job-related characteristics (8 items), and JS-related characteristics (5 items). These were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression.
Results: Among the subjects, 65.2% were satisfied with their jobs. The mean JS score was 3.07 out of 5 points. Among the JS subscales, job pleasure was the highest (3.73 points) and promotion possibility was the lowest (2.02 points). As job satisfaction increased, the intention to stay and willingness to recommend the job to others significantly increased (both p<.001). Job satisfaction was statistically related to the type of employment (p=.001), public insurance support (p=.011), number of working hours per week (p=.008), and annual salary (p=.024).
Conclusion: The CRCs’ JS has a positive effect on job continuity. To increase the JS of CRCs, organizational efforts to improve possibilities for promotion, adequacy of pay, and job security are required. Types of employment offering a guaranteed job until retirement age are highly recommended.
