Abstract
This study analyzed the job characteristics of radiological technologists in charge of ultrasound examinations in the Yeongnam region. The measuring tool used in the study was a questionnaire, and the subjects were radiological technologists in charge of ultrasound examination at medical institutions located in the Yeongnam region from August 01 to November 30, 2021. In consideration of the COVID-19 situation, statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS/PC Ver 18.0 program using e-mail and SNS in a non-face-to-face manner with 158 questionnaires. As a result of analyzing the job characteristics of the radiological technologists in charge of ultrasound examination, the job satisfaction was 3.24±0.61. In the effect of job characteristic factors on job satisfaction, professional position, self-esteem, and trust relationship formation were found to be higher than the average of 3.0. However, as the dissatisfaction factor, compensation and appropriateness of work were cited. Therefore, in order to improve the job characteristics and satisfaction level of radiological technologists in charge of ultrasound examinations, it is necessary to do their best to improve the appropriate work environment of medical institutions and to continuously secure professionalism of radiological technologists in charge of ultrasound examinations.
