This study aimed to determine the perception of job stress and job satisfaction among veterinarians based on the type of practice they predominantly engage in (small animal practice, large animal practice, mixed small and large animal practice, and non-clinical practice) and to examine the most common sources of stress among veterinarians involved in different types of practice. The study sample consisted of 217 veterinarians employed in the Republic of Croatia, including 162 female and 55 male veterinarians, aged between 22 and 67 years (M=35). Among them, 64.5% work in small animal practice, 16.6% in mixed small and large animal practice, 12.9% in non-clinical practice, and 6% in large animal practice. Data were collected online through a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire began with sociodemographic questions and questions about the type of practice, followed by items from the Job Demands, Control, and Support Questionnaire (Šimunić et al., 2024 – adaptation of The Demand Support Control Questionnaire; Chungkham et al., 2013), the Job Satisfaction Scale (Judge & Klinger, 2008), and the scale of characteristic sources of stress among veterinarians (adaptation of questions from O'Connor's 2019 study). The study compared veterinarians from different types of practice regarding job stress across three dimensions: demands, control, and support, as well as job satisfaction. The results revealed statistically significant differences in job control and demands, but not in social support and job satisfaction. Veterinarians in small animal or mixed small and large animal practices experience higher job demands compared to those in non-clinical practices. Conversely, non-clinical veterinarians report higher stress levels due to lower decision-making control compared to clinical practices. Veterinarians of all groups experience balancing private and professional life as an above-average source of stress. Clinical veterinarians consider interaction with clients as a slightly above-average stressor, while euthanasia and lack of resources represent slightly above-average stress sources for all groups. The risk of injury is slightly above average for large animal veterinarians and below average for others. Work atmosphere and relationships are a slightly below-average stressor for clinical veterinarians and slightly above average for non-clinical veterinarians. The unavailability of the workplace is an above-average stressor in non-clinical practice.
