Zadovoljstvo delovnih terapevtov na delovnem mestu : diplomsko delo

Martinec, Meta (author), Oven, Alenka (mentor), Galof, Katarina (reviewer)

Uvod: Zadovoljni zaposleni so največ, kar si organizacija lahko želi, saj so le tako lahko resnično učinkoviti na delovnem mestu. Pri zadovoljstvu na delovnem mestu smo pozorni na splošno zadovoljstvo kot tudi na posamezne dejavnike, ki imajo na zadovoljstvo na delovnem mestu vpliv. Delovni terapevti so pomembni člani zdravstvenih organizacij, zato je pomembno tudi njihovo zadovoljstvo na delovnem mestu. Namen: V diplomskem delu smo raziskovali, kakšno je zadovoljstvo slovenskih delovnih terapevtov in s katerimi dejavniki na delovnem mestu so najbolj in najmanj zadovoljni. Metode dela: V kvantitativni raziskavi smo podatke pridobili s spletnim anketnim vprašalnikom, na katerega je odgovorilo od 95 do 83 delovnih terapevtov. Rezultati: Povprečna ocena splošnega zadovoljstva anketiranih delovnih terapevtov na delovnem mestu, ocenjenega na lestvici od 1 do 10, je 7,6, kar odraža relativno visoko zadovoljstvo. Anketirani delovni terapevti so izmed vseh ocenjevanih dejavnikov najbolj zadovoljni (M = 4,0) s pogoji dela (varnost, fizični pogoji, proste ure/dni), z medsebojnimi odnosi (M = 3,9) ter z ugledom in avtonomijo poklica (M = 3,9). Najmanj so zadovoljni plačilom, nagradami ter ostalimi ugodnostmi (M = 2,7). Pri primerjavi delovnih terapevtov z 20 let ali manj delovnih izkušenj z delovnimi terapevti, ki imajo več kot 21 let izkušenj, ugotavljamo, da obstaja statistično značilna razlika v splošnem zadovoljstvu. Delovni terapevti z več kot 21 leti delovnih izkušenj so bolj zadovoljni na delovnem mestu. Razprava in zaključek: Zadovoljstvo na delovnem mestu je pomembno, saj pozitivno vpliva na delavce same, organizacijo ter v primeru zdravstvenih organizacij tudi na njene uporabnike. Kljub temu da ugotovitve raziskave kažejo, da so v Sloveniji delovni terapevti na delovnem mestu zadovoljni, je treba tematiki nameniti več pozornosti in izvajati ukrepe za zviševanje zadovoljstva zdravstvenih delavcev. Ker je na področju zadovoljstva delovnih terapevtov na delovnem mestu manko literature, bi bilo priporočljivo opraviti še več podobnih raziskav.

• Title: Job satisfaction of occupational therapists : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Satisfied employees are the best asset an organization can have, because only then can they be truly effective in their work. When it comes to job satisfaction, we pay attention to overall satisfaction as well as to individual factors that influence job satisfaction. Occupational therapists are important members of healthcare organizations, so their job satisfaction is also crucial. Purpose: In our thesis, we investigated the job satisfaction of Slovenian occupational therapists and identified the factors at work with which they are most and least satisfied. Methods: In a quantitative study, data were collected using an online survey questionnaire, completed by 95 to 83 occupational therapists. Results: The average rating of overall job satisfaction of the occupational therapists surveyed assessed on a scale of 1 to 10, was 7.6, reflecting relatively high level of satisfaction. Of all the factors assessed, the occupational therapists surveyed were most satisfied with working conditions (safety, physical conditions, working hours/days off) (M = 4.0), interpersonal relationships (M = 3.9) and the reputation of the profession and autonomy (M = 3.9). They are least satisfied with payment, rewards, and other benefits, which they rate at an average 2.7. Comparing occupational therapists with 20 years or less of professional experience with those with more than 21 years of professional experience reveals a statistically significant difference in overall satisfaction. Occupational therapists with more than 21 years of professional experience, are more satisfied with their work. Discussion and conclusion: Job satisfaction is important because it has positive effect on the employees themselves, the organization, and - in the case of healthcare organizations - their users. Although the research findings indicate that occupational therapists in Slovenia are satisfied with their work, more attention should be paid to this issue, and measures should be taken to increase the satisfaction. Given the lack of literature on occupational therapists' job satisfaction, it would be advisable to conduct more similar studies.
