Are physicians’ motivations stable over time? An investigation before, during, and after a pandemic

Workers’ motivation affects recruitment and retention, which are areas of key concern in many healthcare systems. Using unique survey data on Danish general practitioners (GPs) before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, this talk discusses findings from a study investigating changes in motivation and possible drivers (GP, practice, or area characteristics).

Speaker Lucy Poole is a research fellow in health economics at Danish Centre for Health Economics (DaCHE) and a teacher in the Department of Public Health at the University of Southern Denmark, where she is completing doctoral research on physicians’ well-being and provision of care.
