Abstract Background: Job satisfaction is a key determinant of workforce stability and quality of care among healthcare professionals. Physiotherapists are exposed to both physical and psychological occupational demands, which may influence their job satisfaction.
Objective: To examine the influence of mental health and safety climate on job satisfaction among physiotherapists in the Klang Valley.
Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among 200 physiotherapists using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured online questionnaire comprising demographic characteristics, mental health, safety climate, and job satisfaction scales. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression using SPSS version 26.
Results: Mental health showed a moderate positive correlation with job satisfaction, while safety climate demonstrated a strong positive correlation. Multiple regression analysis revealed that safety climate significantly predicted job satisfaction (p < 0.05), whereas mental health did not. The model explained 67.4% of the variance in job satisfaction. No significant differences were observed across demographic variables.
Conclusion: Safety climate is a significant determinant of job satisfaction among physiotherapists. Enhancing workplace safety and organizational support may improve employee satisfaction and retention.
