Abstract

Purpose:This study was conducted to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and conflict tendency in physiotherapists. Patients and Methods:The sample of the study consists of 202 physiotherapists with at least 1 year of professional experience. Conflict Tendency Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale and the evaluation form prepared by the researchers were applied to the physiotherapists participated to the study. Results:The mean scores of Job Satisfaction Scale and Conflict Tendency Scale of the participants were 97.8±12.2 and 165.9±28.0 points, respectively. Job Satisfaction Scale and Conflict Tendency Scale scores do not differ according to the gender, income level, institution and the degree of satisfaction with job (p˃0.05). Physiotherapists with less than 5 years of professional experience and under the age of 30 had significantly higher Conflict Tendency Scale scores than their more experienced colleagues (p˂0.05). A moderate negative correlation was detected between job satisfaction and conflict tendency (r = 0.571). Conclusion:Conflict tendencies and interpersonal communication skills and interpersonal communication problems decrease as physiotherapists gain professional experience. Job satisfaction increases with the decrease of conflict tendency in physiotherapists.
