The logistic regression analysis indicated that the major impact factors relevant to occupational satisfaction were the working age, income, working schedule, and the vocational ability. the OR value was 1.836(1.257-2.736)(working age more than 20 years vs. less than 5 years), 2.471(1.347-3.563)(satisfactory vs. unsatisfactory income), 2.709(1.878-3.549)(reasonable vs. unreasonable working schedule)and 9.143(6.013-12.712)(qualified vs. unqualified vocational ability), respectively.

Conclusion The intervention measures against such influencing factors should be taken to increase the occupational satisfaction of medical staff.
