Job satisfaction is a concern within many professions and may lead to decreased employee recruitment and retention. The purpose of this study was to compare the level of job satisfaction in PTs and PTAs and to analyze relationships between job satisfaction, demographics, and productivity requirements.
245 PTs and PTAs in Washington state completed a survey consisting of demographic information and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), which measures job satisfaction within nine subscales.
PTs and PTAs had similar levels of job satisfaction, and participants had higher total job satisfaction than established norms. 60% of subjects had a productivity standard, with an average standard of 82.1%. Participants with a productivity standard had lower job satisfaction, and lower satisfaction regarding rewards, operating conditions, nature of work, and communication. Significant negative correlations were found between productivity standards, total job satisfaction, and satisfaction regarding pay, supervision, benefits, rewards, and communication.
PTs and PTAs with a productivity standard and those seeking employment should be aware that productivity standards may negatively impact job satisfaction. Organizations should evaluate policies regarding productivity requirements to ensure adequate levels of employee job satisfaction are maintained and to potentially improve employee recruitment and retention.
工作满意度是许多职业关注的问题，可能导致员工招聘和留用率下降。本研究的目的是比较物理治疗师和物理治疗助理的工作满意度水平，并分析工作满意度、人口统计学和生产力要求之间的关系。
华盛顿州的 245 名物理治疗师和物理治疗助理完成了一项调查，其中包括人口统计学信息和工作满意度调查（JSS），该调查衡量了九个子量表中的工作满意度。
物理治疗师和物理治疗助理的工作满意度相似，参与者的总体工作满意度高于既定标准。60%的受试者有生产力标准，平均标准为 82.1%。有生产力标准的参与者工作满意度较低，对奖励、工作条件、工作性质和沟通的满意度也较低。生产力标准、总工作满意度以及对薪酬、监督、福利、奖励和沟通的满意度之间存在显著负相关。
有生产力标准的物理治疗师和物理治疗助理以及寻求就业的人应该意识到，生产力标准可能会对工作满意度产生负面影响。组织应评估关于生产力要求的政策，以确保维持员工的工作满意度水平，并可能提高员工的招聘和留用率。
