CONCLUSIONS
The findings of this study provide new information on relations between German physicians’ WFCs, working conditions and personal resources.The study results can be summarised as follows:
1. Physicians working at German hospitals perceive levels of WFCs.
2. Physicians’ WFCs are negatively associated with:
A. Job resources, particularly influence at work,sense of community and social support;
B. Personal resources (eg, self-efficacy and resilience).
3. Physicians’ WFCs are positively associated with job demands such as workload.
4. Personal resources and job resources moderate the relationship between job demands and WFCs.
5. Significant relations between WFCs and sociodemographic variables could be identified (eg, age).
Our findings, in turn, have practical implications:
