Results A total of 221 staffs were surveyed, with an average age of (32.9±0.6) years,and more males(56.1%). The median WTP was 350(P25=300,P75=400) yuan.The staffs who were master degree or above(HR=0.261,95%CI: 0.079-0.861), personal payment(HR=0.365, 95%CI: 0.151-0.946), very satisfied(HR=6.07e-17, 95%CI: 5.14e-18-7.17e-16)and generally satisfied(HR=0.219, 95%CI: 0.057-0.845)with the previous post-examination services were less likely to be unwilling to pay; the staffs who generally familiar with(HR=2.949, 95%CI: 1.249-6.964) and don’t familiar with(HR=2.416, 95%CI: 1.068-5.745) the services and have generally sense(HR=3.410, 95%CI: 1.392-8.357) and weak sense(HR=18.168, 95%CI: 3.911-84.408) of belonging to work were more likely to be unwilling to pay(P<0.05).
