The goal of paper is to research into rehabilitation therapists’ competencies and satisfaction of their job as
therapists for disabled students and to exhibit the necessary support for these rehabilitation therapists via
analyzing the relationship between the competencies and the job satisfaction. To gather the data for this
research, we have surveyed those rehabilitation therapists who are occupied in a rehabilitation welfare
center. In total of 300 surveys was distributed; 248 survey results were collected and used for analysis.
This study’s main conclusion is the following. First of all, the rehabilitation therapists generally showed
above the average job satisfaction. The rehabilitation therapists whose average monthly pay is high and
who have few patients showed significantly higher satisfaction in their job than those whose average
monthly pay is low and who have many patients. There appears to be no relationship between the job
satisfaction and the rehabilitation therapists’ age, education, specialty, and career. Secondly, because of the
qualities as a therapist, the rehabilitation therapists showed above the average competencies. Depending on
one’s education, work experience, and type of work, the rehabilitation therapists displayed a meaningful
difference in competencies. Those of who graduated from college, those of who have less than 5 to 7
years of work experience, those of who are physical therapists assessed themselves as high. Lastly, there is
a static correlation between job satisfaction and competencies. Especially, when one’s satisfaction in the job
itself and in the work environment is high, one’s competencies were high also.
