Mapping the ideal job: insights into job resources of general practitioner trainees

GP trainees demonstrated a strong commitment to the core values and principles of general practice. This study suggests that it is essential to design jobs that align with these values and offer diverse work tasks, autonomy in work management, opportunities for continuous professional development, and balanced work-life integration. Prioritizing these elements in job design strategies could enhance GPs' occupational well-being and maintain their dedication to primary care throughout their careers.
