Abstract

This study attempted to examine the job stress and turnover intentions of physical therapists and to investigate the relationship between these two factors. A total of 309 physical therapists currently working in Gyeonggi-do and Incheon in South Korea were selected as research subjects. The data were collected by a survey using self-administered questionnaires structured from June 10 to June 25, 2015. According to the study results, job stress was highest in job autonomy and lowest in relationship conflict, while the turnover intention score was $2.80{\pm}0.70$. The physical therapists showed higher job stress and turnover intention level with increasing age and working experience, showing a significant positive correlation(p<.05). The turnover intention showed a significant positive correlation with all of the job stress factors. Decreased work motivation showed a significant positive correlation with all of the job stress factors except for job instability(p<.05). In addition, among the factors for the job stress, Job autonomy, Structure and organization, Inappropriate compensation, and Workplace culture turned out to be those affecting their turnover intention. This study confirmed that an increase of job stress among physical therapists can be a risk factor of higher turnover intention, implying a necessity to try to reduce their job stress and turnover intention.

이 연구는 물리치료사의 직무스트레스와 이직의도를 확인하고 둘 사이의 관련성을 파악하기 위해 실시되었다. 연구 대상자는 경기 인천지역에 근무하는 물리치료사 309명이었다. 자료 수집은 2015년 6월 1일부터 동년 6월 25일까지 구조화된 자기-기입방식 설문조사를 사용하였다. 연구결과, 직무스트레스는 직무자율에서 가장 높았고, 관계갈등에서 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 이직의도는 $2.80{\pm}0.70$점이었다. 물리치료사는 나이와 총근무년수가 증가할수록 직무스트레스와 이직의도가 높아지는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<.05). 이직의사는 모든 직무스트레스 요인들과 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었고, 의욕저하 또한 직무불안정을 제외한 직무스트레스의 모든 요인들과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<.05). 또한 직무스트레스 요인 중 직무자율, 직무체계, 보상, 직장문화가 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 물리치료사의 직무 스트레스의 증가는 이직의도를 높이는 위험요인인 것을 알 수 있었고, 직무스트레스와 이직의도를 감소시키기 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
