This study attempts to provide basic information on overseas employment to the radiological technologists and students majoring in radiology in Korea who consider the overseas employment by investigating the job consciousness for radiological technologists in Canada and Australia which have a high level of interest for overseas employment and want to compare their status with that of Korean radiological technologists. This study was performed by visiting hospitals such as Prince George Regional Hospital, 1475 Edmonton Street, Prince George, BC, Canada on August 13, 2007, Alfred Hospital, Commercial Road Melbourne 3004, Australia on August 4, 2008, and other Korea hospitals that show the similar scale as Canada and Australia on September 10, 2007. The results were summarized as follows : 1. Differences were observed in this sexual composition, such as 18 males (90%) in Korea, 14 females (73.7%) in Canada, and 25 females in Australia (86.2%). 2. The item of ’aptitude’ which is one of the most important criteria, showed the highest level in Korea, Canada, and Australia, and the second most considered item was ’salary’. 3. In the values in jobs, the items of ’economic self-sufficiency’, ’recognized by others’, and ’establishing a social position’ represented high levels in Korea, and the items of ’like the job itself’, ’establishing self-actualization’, ’feel the meaning of life’, and ’make new friends’ showed high levels in Canada and Australia. 4. Regarding the item of ’a job is important as much as a marriage’, ’Yes’ showed high level in Korea, and ’No’ showed high levels in Canada and Australia. 5. Radiological technologists in Korea demonstrated a low level in the job consciousness compared to those of Canada and Australia. Although this study shows some limitations for showing whole idea of radiological technologists due to the lack of the scope in samples for each country as a practical manner, this study can be regarded significant to compare some countries that have interests in overseas employment.
