DUANE AKROYD, PH.D., R.T.(R), MELISSA B. JACKOWSKI, ED.D., R.T.(R)(M) and JEFFREY S. LEGG, PH.D., R.T.(R)(CT)(QM)

Context A variety of factors influence employees’ attitudes toward their workplace and commitment to the organization that employs them. However, these factors have not been well documented among radiologic technologists.

Objective To determine the predictive ability of selected organizational, leadership, work-role and demographic variables on organizational commitment for a national sample of radiographers.

Methods Three thousand radiographers registered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists working full time in clinical settings were surveyed by mail regarding their commitment to their employers, leadership within the organization that employs them, employer support and demographic information.

Results Overall, radiographers were found to have only a moderate level of commitment to their employers. Among the factors that significantly affected commitment were the radiographer’s educational level, perceived level of organizational support, role clarity and organizational leadership.

Conclusion The results of this study could provide managers and supervisors with insights on how to empower and challenge radiographers and offer opportunities that will enhance radiographers’ commitment to the organization, thus reducing costly turnover and improving employee performance.
