Abstract

This study investigated the influence of clinical physical therapist's perception of their work environment and their attitude toward professionalization on individual job satisfaction. This study is a cross-sectional survey of clinical physical therapists 356 working in hospital, and utilized a structured questionnaire. As a result of this study, in their twenties, women, physical therapist with low clinical experience, and physical therapists working at hospital level showed low job satisfaction. Most of the physical therapists said that they needed a system for professionalism, and the lower the job satisfaction was, the higher the attitude toward the necessity of introducing a professional system. The variables affecting job satisfaction were academic background and annual salary. Therefore, in order to improve the job satisfaction of physical therapists, improvement of salary and learning for professionalism played an important role in improving job satisfaction. Self-development and job specialization through the introduction of a system for equipping expertise appear to be important to improve the job satisfaction.

본 연구는 임상 물리치료사들의 업무 환경 및 전문성 제도화에 대한 태도가 직업 만족도에 미치는 영향을 알아 보고자 실시하였다. 이 연구는 설문지를 이용한 횡단적 연구로서 병원에서 근무하고 있는 물리치료사 356명을 대상으로 하였다. 결과에서는 20대, 여성, 임상 경력이 낮은 물리치료사, 병원급에서 근무하는 물리치료사가 직업 만족도가 낮았다. 대부분의 물리치료사들의 전문성을 위한 제도가 필요하다고 하였고 직업 만족도가 낮을수록 전문 제도 도입의 필요성에 대한 태도가 높았다. 직업 만족도에 영향을 미치는 변인은 학력과 연봉이었다. 따라서, 물리치료사들의 직업 만족도를 향상시키기 위하여서 연봉의 개선과 전문성을 위한 학습이 직업 만족도 향상에 중요한 역할을 하고 있었다. 전문성을 갖추기 위한 제도 도입을 통한 자기 계발과 업무의 전문화는 물리치료사의 직업 만족도를 향상시키기 위하여 중요한 것으로 보인다.
