Abstract: (17 Views)
Background and objective:Quality of work life, job satisfaction, and burnout are key factors affecting the professional health of occupational therapists. This study aimed to explore their relationships and the impact of demographic variables on these factors among Iranian occupational therapists.
Methods:This cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted with 381 Iranian occupational therapists. Data were collected using standard questionnaires and analyzed through Pearson correlation tests and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results:The mean scores for quality of work life were 1.79 with a standard deviation of 1.12, job satisfaction was 1.7 with a standard deviation of 0.2, and burnout was 0.24 with a standard deviation of 0.7. Income had a positive and significant relationship with quality of work life (β = 0.143, p = 0.024), career satisfaction (β = 0.143, p = 0.024), control at work (β = 0.157, p = 0.013), and working conditions (β = 0.147, p = 0.021). Gender was significantly related to job stress (β = 0.125, p = 0.033) and depersonalization (β = 0.259, p < 0.001). Increased age was associated with lower intrinsic satisfaction (β = -0.292, p = 0.018) and extrinsic satisfaction (β = -0.261, p = 0.038). Other demographic factors, such as education level and marital status, did not significantly affect these indicators.
Conclusions:The findings suggest that demographic variables, particularly income and gender, play a significant role in predicting quality of work life and related indicators. Gender-specific support policies and income increases could enhance job satisfaction and reduce burnout among occupational therapists.
