The role of providers’ intrinsic motivation for quality of care and responses to a non-financial incentive
Providers' intrinsic motivation is deemed important for quality of care and responses to incentives. Building on self-determination theory, we test the hypotheses that more intrinsically motivated providers perform better and respond less to an external incentive. We exploit the introduction of a cluster randomised accreditation scheme in Danish general practice, where practices were randomised to accreditation in different years (2016-2018) at m…
Burnout of intrinsically motivated GPs when exposed to external regulation
Burnout among general practitioners (GPs) is a problem in many countries. Research indicates that burnout is less likely to occur among intrinsically motivated employees. Based on self-determination theory, we investigate 1) whether intrinsically motivated GPs are less burned out than their colleagues, and 2) whether the most intrinsically motivated GPs are more likely to burn out when exposed to an external regulatory accreditation programme. Ge…
A colonized general practice? A critical habermasian analysis of how general practitioners experience defensive medicine in their everyday working life
The aim of this article is to show how Jürgen Habermas' communicative action theory serves as a useful tool in analysing and interpreting empirical data on how Danish general practitioners experience defensive medicine in their everyday working life. Through six qualitative focus group interviews with a total of 28 general practitioners (14 men and 14 women), the general practitioners' understandings of and experiences with defensive medicine wer…
Does accreditation affect the job satisfaction of general practitioners? A combined panel data survey and cluster randomised field experiment
A critical question for policy makers in health care is whether external interventions have unintended consequences such as lowering professionals' job satisfaction. We investigate whether a non-monetary incentive, in the form of mandatory accreditation, affects the job satisfaction of Danish GPs. Accreditation of general practice in Denmark was introduced as a cluster randomised stepwise implementation from 2016 to 2018. We measure job satisfact…
