Purpose: We investigated the relationship between professional self-concept and the job satisfaction of physical therapists.
Methods: The subjects of the study were 221 physical therapists who worked in medical institutions in Seoul city and Kyounggi do. A questionnaire developed by Arthur and adapted by Sohng and Noh was used for measuring the professional self-concept. A questionnaire developed by Kim and Son and adapted by Kim and Jeon was used for measuring the job satisfaction.
Results: The levels of the professional self-concept of physical therapists was a mean of 3.51 points and the level of job satisfaction was a mean of 3.32. There was a statistically significant difference for the professional self-concept of physical therapists according to such general characteristics as age (F=6.38, p<0.05), career (F=4.56, p<0.05) and pay (F=15.94, p<0.05), and there was a significant difference of job satisfaction according to such general characteristics as age (F=15.94, p<0.05), career (F=13.65, p<0.05) and pay (F=12.96, p<0.05). (ED note: this sentence made no sense. What I wrote is guesswork. You have to work on it.) The relationship between professional self-concept and job satisfaction showed a positive correlation (r=0.65, p<0.05).
Conclusion: These findings show that modifications to the current program may improve the professional self-concept and job satisfaction of physical therapists.
