Purpose
Staff is essential to the university’s efficient administrative operations, which are critical for education, research, and service. Medical schools, often independent, need specialized administrative elements. This study explores how medical school staff perceives the organization using the Six-Box model and evaluates their perceived organizational support, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment based on the concept of job attitudes.
Methods
This study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative data via a convergent parallel design. It simultaneously collects and analyzes data from a survey and consensus workshop for medical school staff. The survey data were statistically analyzed (IBM SPSS ver. 25.0; IBM Corp., USA), and the workshop discussions were subjected to content analysis. The findings combined provide a comprehensive understanding of the medical school administrative system.
Results
Quantitative analysis revealed purpose (3.80) as the highest-rated organizational perception and rewards (2.72) as the lowest. Similarly, job satisfaction was highest (3.63) in job attitudes, while perceived organizational support (2.96) was the lowest. Group differences were observed by gender, enrollment capacity, and contract type (p<0.05). In qualitative research, keywords appeared in relation to their experiences within the medical school organization, encompassing doctor training, emotional responses, administrative features, personal attributes, and cultural influences. Overload, faculty issues, and communication gaps are obstacles. Strategies for overcoming these challenges focus on improving staff treatment, resource allocation, training, and communication channels.
Conclusion
This study was conducted to explore a broad understanding of the administration of medical schools. Findings suggest challenges with workload, communication, and organizational support. We propose a dedicated medical school administrative system, improved work conditions, and enhanced communication.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to investigate medical residents' job satisfaction and their related factors to improve the quality of residency program.
METHODS
The study subjects were 159 medical residents being trained at Chonnam National University Hospital, South Korea, in 2011. The participants were asked to complete a short form Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire (MSQ).
RESULTS
The mean score for 20 items on the short form MSQ varied between 2.91 and 3.64 on a 5-point Likert scale. The assessment of related factors with job satisfaction revealed that medical residents had higher levels for job satisfaction, particularly those who were women (beta=0.200, p=0.022), and those who had mentorship experience (beta=0.219, p=0.008).
CONCLUSION
This study results indicate that we should expand and support the mentorship program during medical residency to promote job satisfaction.

PURPOSE
This study aims to examine the relevance between medical college professors' working environment and their job satisfaction. METHODS: A survey was done on the job satisfaction of medical college professors in service as of March 31, 2004 with 456 responding. Correlation analysis and regression analysis was conducted to find out the relevance of the working environment and job satisfaction. RESULTS: A relatively high satisfaction level was seen: satisfaction 55.1% and dissatisfaction 11.8%. This implies that professors have professional pride in their jobs. Concerning the work environment, they were highly dissatisfied in the research support categories, such as human resources or financial support, indicating a poor research environment. In terms of work hour ratio for medical college professors, medical practice was the largest, 49.8%, and the rest included research activities (18.0%) and educational activities (15.6%). In addition, they were the least satisfied with research activities. CONCLUSION: Medical college professors spend a great deal of time in medical practice because of their professional identity as medical doctors, compared to professors in other academic majors. Of course, although there are apparent differences between professors of basic medical science and those of clinical medicine, they can hardly put their time on research activities under the circumstances. Therefore, further study is necessary according to the future changes by considering the characteristics of medical college professors' educational and medical environment.
