본 연구는 직무만족과 이직의사를 일반적 특성과 질문지를 통한 내용으로 분석하여 방사선출신 병원사 무장들의 직무만족과 이직의사에 대해 어떤 요인들이 영향을 미치는가에 대해 그 초점을 맞추었다. 연구결 과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 우선 전체 직무만족도와 이직의사를 살펴보면 전체 직무만족는 3.00점이고, 이 직의사는 2.79점이다. 5점 척도에서 직무만족는 평균 2.5점 보다 약간 높은 점수를 보여 그다지 높은 직무 만족을 가지고 있다고 볼 수 없으며, 이직의사에서도 평균점을 조금 넘는 점수를 보여 대체적으로 이직하 려는 경향이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 방사선사출신 병원사무장의 경우, 연령이 증가함에 따라 받게 되는 정체성 때문에, 미래를 위한 새로운 투자가 필요할 것으로 본다. 현실에 안주하는 병원사무장이 아니 라 미래를 준비하는 병원관리자로 방사선사출신 병원사무장들의 미래가 투명해 지길 기대한다.
