Abstract: Objective　To explore the current situation and influential factors of job satisfaction among standardized training residents in Shanghai and to put forward measures of improving their job satisfaction. Methods　A randomized sampling was used to recruit 318 standardized training residents from 4 training bases in Shanghai to participate in this questionnaire-based survey. The questionnaire included both Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire (MSQ) and some other socio-demographic items. Results　The average score of intrinsic satisfaction, extrinsic satisfaction and overall job satisfaction were 40.96±7.241, 19.78±3.910 and 67.90±11.503 respectively. And the Pearson correlation analysis showed that the scores of 3-dimensions of job satisfaction were positively correlated with average sleep time (per week), while the scores of extrinsic job satisfaction were negatively correlated with average work time (per week). Comparison analysis (t/F test) showed residents who were older, married and had previous work experience, longer training years and less salary satisfaction would get lower scores in overall satisfaction. Conclusion　Standardized training residents in Shanghai enjoyed a moderate level of job satisfaction. And offering better work environment, increasing residents’ satisfaction of salary and improving training methods and humanistic care may help increase the job satisfaction among standardized training residents in Shanghai.
