title: The job satisfaction of allied health professionals.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine how allied health professionals felt about their jobs in general and about specific job facets in particular. Four groups were investigated: (1) medical dietitians; (2) physical therapists; (3) occupational therapists; and (4) medical technologists. When national norms were applied to the median scores obtained on the Job Descriptive Index (JDI), low levels of job satisfaction were revealed. Differences were found between professions.
