Purpose: The study is to check the specialty of radiotherapists working in the department of radiation oncology and find job satisfaction, organizational commitment and job commitment having an effect on professional parts. After making analysis of the mutual relation, it is to provide radiotechnologists with making progress in the future.
Materials and Methods: From March 2 to March 30, we had carried out a survey with email. It is possible to have 272 questionnaires answered in the survey. We make use of SPSS 13.0 for Windows to analyze the data collected for study. Frequency and a percentage are meant to show general characteristics, and t-test and ANOVA to do the difference between general properties and professionalism. Pearson’s correlation coefficient also is meant to do the correlation of professionalism, organizationalㆍjob commitment and job satisfaction, and multiple regression analysis to do the factor for a relevant variable to affect professionalism.
Results: There are subdivisions in the professionalism informing us of the self-regulation 17.74±2.32/3.55±.46, a sense of calling 17.58±2.63/3.52±.53, reference of the professional 17.14±2.39/3.43±.48, service to the public 15.97±2.48/3.19±50, and autonomy 15.68±2.28/3.14±46. Grand mean turns out to be 83.89±7.63(Summation of items)/3.37±0.49 (Numbers of items). When it comes to a statistical relation between general characteristics and professionalism, the statistics have it that these come within age (P＜.001), period of employment (P＜.001), education status (P＜.05), a monthly income (P＜.001), radiotherapists who get a special license (P＜.001), the position (P＜.001), and an opportunity for developing (P＜.001). As a result of organizational commitment, job commitment, and job satisfaction, grand mean in organizational commitment proves to be 80.10±8.15/3.34±.34. There are subvisions showing affective commitment 28.64±4.61/3.58, continuance commitment 27.54±4.22/ 3.44±.53, and normative commitment 23.95±2.94/2.99±.37 in order of precedence. The average grade in job commitment is 32.47±5.77/3.30±.60 and that in job satisfaction is 63.39±10.16/3.17±.51, respectively. We find the positive relationship between professionalism and organizational commitment (r=.522, P＜.05), between professionalism and job commitment (r=.444, P＜.05), and between professionalism and job satisfaction (r=.507, P＜.05). And we also get the positive relationship between organizational commitment and job commitment (r=.549, P＜.05), between organizational commitment and job satisfaction (r=.433, P＜.05), and between job commitment and job satisfaction (r=.462, P＜.05). To catch the factors influencing the professionalism of radiotherapists, we used multiple
regression analysis. According to the final model, it appears affective commitment (B=.755, P＜.05), normative commitment (B=.305, P＜.05), job satisfaction (B=.092, P＜.05), an opportunity for developing (B=－1.505, P＜ .05), and the position (B=－1.155, P＜.05) in order of precedence. It seems that explaining influece on R2 is 0.504.
Conclusion: The results of the factors that influence professionalism working as radiotherapists in the department of radiation oncology have it that the more affective commitment, normative commitment, and job satisfaction we feel, the more professionalism we recognize. We think that the focus of professionalism is increased if getting the chances for radiotherapists to have little to do with developing opportunities given.
