Purpose : This study aims to provide fundamental information for increasing a physical therapist’s empowerment and suggesting effective ways to incorporate humor into the physical therapist’s organizations by investigating a level of perceived sense of humor and empowerment, as well as examining the relationship between them.
Method : This study was conducted in the country’s 9 general hospitals, 11 rehabilitation hospitals, 20 clinics. The data of general characteristics, sense of humor, and empowerment were collected from 1 August 2012 to 25 August 2012. A total of 300 clinical instructors were distributed and collected. The call response rate was 94.7%(n＝284). The collected data were analyzed by spss/pc ＋12.0
Result : 1. The mean score of the physical therapist’s sense of humor was 56.53±05.58 out of 84 and each of the sub-dimensions were scored in order of emotional expressiveness, liking of humor and metamessage sensitivity. 2. The mean score of the physical therapist’s empowerment was 56.67±12.72 out of 84 and each of the sub-dimensions scored in order of meaning, competence, self-determination and impact. 3. There was no significant difference between the sense of humor and the empowerment(r＝0.093, p＝0.118). 4. There were no significant difference in sense of humor. 5. There
were significant differences in the levels of the empowerment by sex, marriage, workers satisfaction, age, attainment in scholarship, workplace, and duration of work.
