Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the salary status of medical doctors who work in county-level hospitals, and analyze the existing problems. Wecollected the data from questionnaires and applied both EXCEL and SPSS to conduct analysis.Doctors working in county level-hospitals received relatively lower salaries, with 78.5% of the doctors making lower than 5000 RMB per month. Influencing factors for the salary levels included personal factors, attributes of the hospitals, workload and performance appraisal.Reasonableadjustment for the salary levels is needed to refine important elements of salary distribution, and to construct a rational performance appraisal system.
