Purpose: This study was conducted in order to understand the influence of professionalism on job satisfaction and job performance of the physical therapist.
Methods: Subjects were 148 physical therapists. We conducted a questionnaire survey on professionalism, job satisfaction, and job performance. Professionalism questions were ¡®Compliance of professional organization¡¯, ¡®Beliefs about public service¡¯, ¡®Autonomy¡¯, ¡®Beliefs about self-regulation¡¯, and ¡®Vocation awareness of the profession¡¯. A regression analysis was then performed.
Results: The subjects¡¯ average score for professionalism was 3.18¡¾0.31 points. The lowest score for satisfaction was observed for ¡®Compliance of professional organization¡¯. Professionalism had an effect on job satisfaction. ¡®Vocation awareness of the profession (¥â=0.44, p<0.001)¡¯, ¡®Beliefs about public service (¥â=0.25, p<0.01)¡¯, and ¡®Autonomy (¥â=0.17, p<0.05)¡¯ had an effect on job satisfaction. R square=0.46 (adjusted R square=0.45). Professionalism had an effect on job performance. ¡®Autonomy (¥â=0.29), p<0.001)¡¯, ¡®Vocation awareness of the profession (¥â=0.22, p<0.05)¡¯, and ¡®Beliefs about self-regulation (¥â=0.18, p<0.05)¡¯ had an effect on job performance. R square=0.25 (adjusted R square=0.22).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that in order to improve job satisfaction and job performance, it is necessary to improve professionalism. Therefore physical therapists should improve their professionalism (¡®Compliance of professional organization¡¯, ¡®Beliefs about public service¡¯, ¡®Autonomy¡¯, ¡®Beliefs about self-regulation¡¯, and ¡®Vocation awareness of the profession¡¯) in order to improve their job satisfaction and job performance. In addition, research to improve professionalism of the physical therapist should be continued.
