Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of work ethics of an occupational therapist and examine the correlation between work ethics and organizational commitment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of occupational therapists’ work ethics on organizational commitment. Through this study, we aim to determine the importance of work ethics and find a way to improve organizational commitment in occupational therapists.
Methods : We conducted nationwide surveys on occupational therapists working in hospitals and other institutions from April 24, 2023 to May 30, 2023. We evaluated general characteristics, work ethics, and organizational commitment. General characteristics were analyzed using a frequency analysis. Work ethics and organizational commitment were examined using descriptive statistics. The correlation among work ethics and organizational commitment was analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Additionally, a multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify factors that affected organizational commitment.
Results : The results of this study were as follows. First, the average score of work ethics was 3.32 ± .32. Second, a significant positive correlation was observed between work ethics and organizational commitment (p<.01). And as a result of the correlation between work ethics sub-factors and organizational commitment, wasted time (r=.261, p<.01), centrality of work (r=.366, p<.01), morality/ethics (r=.470, p<.01), leisure (r=.189, p<.05), delay of gratification (r=.410, p<.01), hard work (r=.437, p<.01), self-reliance (r=.233, p<.01) showed a statistically significant correlation. Third, the sub-factors of work ethics that influenced organizational commitment, including morality/ethics (β=.302, p<.01), hard work (β=.271, p<.01), and delay of gratification (β=.205, p<.01) were identified.
Conclusion : In conclusion, the results of this study underscore the importance of work ethics in influencing organizational commitment. Through this study, we recognized the importance of work ethics, which may serve as basic data to promote work ethics and improvement of organizational commitment.
