Factors Impacting Job Satisfaction Levels Among Physiotherapists In Uttar Pradesh

This research considers variables affecting job satisfaction among physiotherapists in Uttar Pradesh, with an emphasis on age, experience, workload, and patient volume. A cross-sectional survey of 302 physiotherapists compared job satisfaction differences across various demographic categories. Results show there are significant differences in job satisfaction (p < 0.001). Young physiotherapists (21-27 years: 142.1 ± 13.908) were more satisfied than mid-career professionals (42-48 years: 134.89 ± 12.663). In a similar fashion, novice physiotherapists (0-2 years: 141.25 ± 13.583) were more satisfied compared to mid-career practitioners (6-10 years: 136.00 ± 11.155). Weak but significant correlation was established between age (r = 0.370, p = 0.043) and experience (r = 0.399, p = 0.050) and job satisfaction.Mid-career discontent could be due to heavy workload and lack of career advancement. Resolution of these concerns by means of enhanced work-life balance, career progression, and pay can enhance job satisfaction. Future studies need to identify other workplace factors to enhance retention and wellness among physiotherapists.Top of Form
