Abstract
We aimed to assess the work-life balance, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction and their correlates among physicians in Jordan. This study utilized an online questionnaire to collect information about work-life balance and related factors from practicing physicians in Jordan from August 2021 until April 2022. The survey consisted of 37 detailed self-report questions covering seven main categories: demographics, professional and academic information, impact of work on personal life, impact of personal life on work, work/personal life enhancement, the Andrew and Withney Job Satisfaction scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale developed by Diener et al. Results: The study included 625 participants. Overall, 62.9% were found to have a work-life conflict. The work-life balance score was negatively correlated with age, number of children, and years practicing medicine, while it was positively correlated with number of hours per week and number of calls. Regarding job and life satisfaction, 22.1% had a score indicating job dissatisfaction, while 20.5% disagreed with the statements indicating life satisfaction. Our study demonstrates that work-life conflict is highly prevalent among Jordanian physicians and highlights the significance of work-life balance in supporting physicians' well-being and performance.
