Level of institutional identification and degree of job satisfaction in tutors of the medical internship at the Ricardo Palma University 2024

Abstract

Introduction: This study investigates the identification and job satisfaction of the tutors of the medical internship at the Ricardo Palma University in 2024, highlighting their role in the training of future doctors. It is based on social identity theory, which posits that employees identify more with organizations whose values ​​match their own.

Objective: To evaluate how factors such as identification with the institutional mission and professional development opportunities influence job satisfaction.

Methodology: A descriptive analytical observational design was used, surveying 37 randomly selected tutors. The results show a positive perception towards institutional identification, with 71% of the tutors feeling pride in belonging to the institution. However, 45% consider that their remuneration is adequate only "sometimes", and 22% express dissatisfaction with working conditions.

Conclusion: Although there is a high level of job identification and satisfaction, concerns about remuneration and the work environment persist. These findings are consistent with trends observed in other medical contexts, suggesting that these challenges must be addressed to improve the professional environment and foster a more motivating and healthy work environment.
