초록

Purpose: The descriptive study was done to examine empowerment and job satisfaction of caregivers caring for elders in long term care facilities. Methods: Data were gathered during September 2009, through a survey methodology. The participants were 189 caregivers who worked in long-term care institutions and home care clinics located in city and rural areas. The collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: For the relationship between empowerment and job satisfaction, there was a significant positive correlation between empowerment and job satisfaction (r=.503, p<.01). Empowerment explained 52.5% of the variance in job satisfaction. Conclusion: The results indicate that the level of empowerment influences job satisfaction. Therefore human resources management planning should focus on increasing empowerment in these caregivers in order to raise their job satisfaction.
