Introduction: Considering the critical role of the country’s legal medicine organization in realizing justice on the one hand as well as the difficulty of working in this organization on the other hand, identifying the influencing factors on the decision of physicians and medical students to enter to legal medicine centers in less developed regions is essential for managers. Therefore, this study was carried out to identify these components, the interaction effects between them, and the demographic variables of the target population.
Methods: The present study was conducted on 222 physicians and medical students in 2023 with the discrete choice experiment method. The data was collected through a questionnaire that was designed using the D-Optimal method by SAS software. A conditional logit regression model with STATA 17 software was used to analyze the data.
Results: The existence of institutional housing, close proximity to the workplace, gaining scores for holding managerial positions in the future, lower workload, and increasing the amount of net monthly income, respectively, increase the desire to enter to legal medicine centers in less developed regions. On the other hand, there is a mutual relationship between the three components of net monthly income, the distance between the workplace compared to the birthplace, workload, and demographic variables.
Conclusion: Despite the importance of financial incentives, other non-financial incentives can also be very effective in the decision of physicians and medical students; therefore, it is suggested that the managers of the organization take serious action based on evidence-based management to reduce the existing obstacles and problems while reviewing the effective incentive policies.
