Factors Influencing the Job Satisfaction of Physiotherapists Working at Rehabilitation Hospitals

Abstract

[Purpose] A survey was conducted with the aim of clarifying the components and degree of influence of motivation to work of physical therapists. [Participants and Methods] Sixty-one physiotherapists were given a questionnaire survey of 18 items using the 5-case method. Multiple regression analysis and path analysis were conducted on the answers. [Results] It was clarified that the components of motivation to work were evaluation, treatment, human relations, ability improvement, placement, and sense of accomplishment. It became clear that the factors particularly strongly related to motivation to work are evaluation, treatment, and human relations. [Conclusion] The results suggest that as a concrete effort to improve the motivation to work of physical therapists, it is first necessary to improve evaluation and treatment.
