Morale of general practitioners is a complex issue

Morale among general practitioners is determined by complex interrelations between several factors. Huby and colleagues (p 140) carried out a series of interviews and focus groups among general practitioners in Scotland and identified workload, personal style, and partnership arrangements as the most important factors influencing morale. However, the dynamics of the relations between these factors was more important than any single factor. Partnership arrangements are important in mediating between external workload pressures and individuals' experience of their work.
