Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the professional identity of administrators in 3rd class hospitals in Shanghai, analyzing the professional identity of administrators and associated factors in public hospitals. Methods: In May 2019, Huashan Hospital conducted a questionnaire survey. Through the analysis of the survey data, this study discussed the correlation between the professional identity degree and the external factors. Three main dimensions of occupational identity were extracted by principal component analysis, namely the professional self-identity, organizational identity and social identity. External influencing factors were analyzed by factor analysis, and five main factors were extracted. Results: It was found that the professional self-identity was much higher than the organizational and social identity. The degree of organizational identity was significantly related to external factors (r=0.212,0.426,0.146,0.580,0.610,P <0.01). Respect factors (r=0.553,0.580,0.570) and self-realization factors (r=0.563,0.610,0.433) had the highest correlation with professional identity. Conclusion: Initiating with improving organizational identity, the authorities and hospitals should establish a scientific and reasonable promotion and incentive mechanism to enhance the degree of professional identity.
