Effects of Employee Satisfaction on Attrition of Military Officers at Hungarian Defence Forces (HDF) Military Hospital

Abstract

In the results of this study, I examined the employee satisfaction survey given between 2011 and 2014, and I compared it with the research on emigration conducted at the Hungarian Medical Chamber and at the Hungarian Resident Association. We received between 412 and 801 answers annually. The importance of the topic is indicated by the fact that the media regularly deals with this issue and the shortage of doctors in the military severely compromises fighting ability. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) predicts that by 2022 the European Union will have a shortage of 1 million physicians, which affects 14% of the total health activities. The situation is further worsened by the fact that the Hungarian civil sector (including pharmaceutical companies) presents a serious draining effect as well.
