Turnover is a significant problem in the physical therapy profession. Little is known about employee engagement in the field of physical therapy and it may influence turnover of physical therapists. The purpose of this study is to describe Ohio physical therapists’ perceived level of engagement in the workplace and profession.</p><p> This descriptive study used a web-based survey. A total of 78 respondents from a random sample of 385 licensed Ohio physical therapists participated in this study. Measurements of central tendencies and descriptive analysis were performed.</p><p>Ohio physical therapists’ perceived level of engagement in the workplace was 4.8 and in the profession 4.6 (1 = strongly disagree; 6 = strongly agree with a score of 5 or 6 considered engaged, 3 or 4 not engaged, and 1 or 2 actively disengaged). No significant difference was found between employment status of physical therapists, gender of physical therapists, or types of practice settings physical therapists work and perceived level of engagement in the workplace or profession. No significant relationship was found between years of work at a workplace or in the profession as well as turnover rate and Ohio physical therapists’ perceived level of engagement in the workplace or profession.</p><p>Low response rate and unidentified errors in sampling may limit the results of this study.</p><p> Ohio physical therapists responded to the study that they are not engaged in the workplace or profession. The respondents’ demographic data were not related to employee engagement levels.</p> 2009-09-25 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1250287612 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1250287612 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
