Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the current situation of personality traits and job satisfaction of pediatric therapists in Jiangsu province, and to explore the correlation between them and the related factors of job satisfaction. MethodsFrom June, 2021 to February, 2022, random cluster sampling method was adopted after field investigating several pediatric hospitals and institutions in Jiangsu. Online questionnaires were sent out to pediatric therapists in different settings in eleven cities in Jiangsu. The questionnaires included Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale for Chinese (EPQ-RSC) and self-made scale of demographic characteristics and working status. ResultsAll of the questionaires were taken back, in which 165 were valid (83.33%). Among the three dimensions of psychoticism, extraversion and neuroticism, the intermediate type accounted for 66.06%, 38.79% and 40.00%, respectively. The overall satisfaction of job was (3.80±0.55), the internal satisfaction was (3.88±0.53), and the external satisfaction was (3.59±0.69). There was significant difference in the satisfaction among different types of work institution, monthly incomes, levels of parental support and neuroticism (P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that the internal satisfaction and overall satisfaction were related with neuroticism, monthly income and parental support (P < 0.05), while external satisfaction was related with the neuroticism and parental support (P < 0.05). The level of neuroticism was negatively correlated with the internal satisfaction, the external satisfaction and overall satisfaction (|r| > 0.337, P < 0.001), and the level of extraversion was postively correlated with the external satisfaction (r = 0.155, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe job satisfaction of pediatric therapists is fine in Jiangsu, and is ralated with the level of neuroticism, the monthly income and the level of parental support. The levels of neuroticism and extraversion correlate with the job satisfaction.
