Pharmacy Education, 23(1) 67-77, Jan 28, 2023 Peer-reviewedLead authorLast authorCorresponding authorBackground: Pharmacy graduates’ attitudes toward their work at the early career stage, their career status, job satisfaction, and future plans have not been surveyed in Japan.Methods: Postcards were sent to 514 pharmacy graduates from a University in Tokyo, Japan, asking graduates to answer an online cross-sectional questionnaire.Results: Of the 86 respondents, 15% changed their jobs within three years, and the number of pharmacists working in the “community pharmacy” sector notably increased. Respondents working in non-pharmacy sectors were more satisfied with their jobs than those in the pharmacy sector. Furthermore, job satisfaction impacted the respondents’ future work plans, and the distribution of job satisfaction varied by current career sectors.Conclusion: In response to the global social and economic situations, pharmacy education should consider various fields and skills. Career guidance should be incorporated into the pharmacy curriculum. Further studies on this case are required worldwide to prepare pharmacists for their future roles.

Journal of General and Family Medicine, 18(6) 341-353, Dec, 2017 Peer-reviewedLead authorLast authorCorresponding authorFew studies in Japan use clustering to examine the work attitudes of pharmacists. This study conducts an exploratory analysis to classify those attitudes based on previous studies to help staff pharmacists and their management to understand their mutually beneficial requirements.<br /> Survey data collected in previous studies from 1 228 community pharmacists and 419 hospital pharmacists were analyzed using Quantification Theory 3 and clustering.<br /> Among community pharmacists, two clusters, namely 30- to 34-year-old married males and married males aged over 35 years, reported the highest job satisfaction, intending to remain in their jobs for 5 years or more or until retirement. Conversely, one cluster of 35- to 39-year-old single females reported the lowest job satisfaction and intended to remain for less than 5 years or were undecided. Among hospital pharmacists, one cluster of 22- to 25-year-old single males reported the highest job satisfaction and intended to remain for more than 5 years. Conversely, one cluster of 30- to 34-year-old married males reported the lowest job satisfaction and a period of working undetermined.<br /> This study used clustering to explore how pharmacists of different ages, marital statuses, and experience felt regarding their work. Job satisfaction and human relationships are significant in considering future work plans of practicing pharmacists. Pharmacy staff, supervisors, and managers of community or hospital pharmacies must recognize features of pharmacists’ work attitudes for offering high-quality service to patients.

Pharmacy Education, 16(1) 146-157, Oct, 2016 Peer-reviewedLead authorLast authorCorresponding authorThe top three influences excluded elective classes for intended career decision were the 'hospital pharmacy training', 'community pharmacy training', and 'outside job fairs'. The major three third party influences for final career<br /> decision were 'own interests', 'recruiters', and 'friends'.<br /> Training at community and hospital pharmacy are crucial programme considerations towards future careers for many students. Educators, including pharmacists and personnel at practice sites need to understand how their activities can influence the future career choice of students.

General Medicine, 14(1) 23-31-31, Jun, 2013 Peer-reviewedLead authorLast authorCorresponding authorResults: The proportion of usable data from surveyed pharmacists was 71.7%. Approximately 80% of the respondents desired to commit to careers in the healthcare field and were keen to gain opportunities for personal development. Personal development was the key item among reasons given for decisions about workplace and turnover. About 95% of the pharmacists surveyed were satisfied with their jobs. Compared to the job satisfaction level of other workers, that of pharmacists was considerably higher, although only 5.5% of pharmacists saw themselves staying in their current job until retirement. Job satisfaction data demonstrated significant differences among cohorts of age and years employed, although some specific items associated with job satisfaction could not be identified. Future work plans were influenced by age and job satisfaction.

WONCA Asian Pacific Regional Conference 2019, May 15, 2019, World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) InvitedWhat are considerable elements for pharmacy students when they choose their career. One of the elements is “opportunity for personal development” for many students in our study. In comparison with overseas reports that pharmacy students think much of “salary”, that result of Japanese counterparts indicates a different attitude. Practical training curricula in “community pharmacy training”, “hospital pharmacy training”, and “internship (industry)” affected career preferences intensely. An affirmative experience with training sites was supposed to be the key factor for students in a US study, and the importance of practical training is acknowledged in both Japan and the United States. On the contrary, necessity of subjects related to pharmaceutical industry based on student’s career choices from UK and Saudi Arabia is reported. One of the strong affected factors for final career decision is “own interests”, and also effect by “recruiter” can’t be ignored in final career sectors among “community pharmacy”, “hospital pharmacy” and “industry”. Satisfaction regarding the job search results and the final career decision is assorted among the occupations. As proposal, it would be emphasized that to offer “opportunity for personal development” by employers or managements is very important for pharmacy students as future employees and to arrange various career-related curricula for students’ individual career preferences by academia is necessity, which pharmacy graduates could contribute in healthcare sector extensively.

Mar 22, 2019 InvitedCareer choice attitudes among students as our examples of new 6-year pharmacy school would be presented. The most important element for career choice was “opportunity for personal development” for many students. As compared with international reports that pharmacy students make a point of “salary”, that result of Japanese counterparts indicates a positive attitude. Practical training courses in “community pharmacy training”, “hospital pharmacy training”, and “internship (industry)” affected career intentions strongly. A positive experience with training sites was found to be the top factor for students in a US study, and the importance of practical training is recognized in both Japan and the United States. On the other hand, necessity of curricula related to pharmaceutical industry based on student’s career preferences from UK and Saudi Arabia is reported. The most influenced factor for final career choice was “own interests”, and also effect by “recruiter” was found in final career sectors among “community pharmacy”, “hospital pharmacy” and “industry”. Satisfaction regarding the job search results and the final career decision ranged from 81.6 points for “community pharmacy” to 93.0 points for the “public service”; however, there were no significant differences among the occupations. As proposal, it would be emphasized that to offer “opportunity for personal development” by employers is important for employees and to arrange various career-related curricula for students’ individual career preferences by academia is necessity, which pharmacy graduates could contribute in healthcare sector extensively.
