ABSTRACT

The present study was conducted to assess the level of empathy and job satisfaction among ayurvedic and allopathic doctors. The study is a comparative study and correlation method. A purposive sample of 120 doctors (60 ayurvedic doctors and 60 allopathic doctors) was selected for the study. Jefferson Empathy Scale (Dr. Mohammadreza Hojat, 2000) and Job Satisfaction Scale (Dr. Amar Singh & Dr. Sharma, 1986) were used to collect data. The result was analyzed using an independent sample ttest and Pearson’s coefficient of correlation. The results indicate a significant difference in the level of job satisfaction among ayurvedic and allopathic doctors, a significant difference in the level of empathy among ayurvedic and allopathic doctors, and a significant relationship between empathy and job satisfaction among both ayurvedic and allopathic doctors.
