Abstract

Background: Physiotherapist performance is an important indicator in determining the quality of medical rehabilitation services, influenced by the interaction of personal and institutional factors. This study aims to analyze the influence of personal factors (motivation, formal and non-formal education) and institutional factors (leadership and work environment) on physiotherapist performance.

Subjects and Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The subjects consisted of 183 physiotherapists in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Independent variables included motivation, formal education, non-formal education, leadership, and work environment. The dependent variable was physiotherapist performance. Data analysis included bivariate analysis using Spearman's rho and multivariate analysis using path analysis with STATA.

Results: Motivation (b = 0.44; 95% CI = 0.34 to 0.54; p < 0.001), work environment (b = 0.40; 95% CI = 0.29 to 0.51; p < 0.001), and formal education (b = 0.22; 95% CI = 0.13 to 0.32; p < 0.001) had a direct and significant influence on physiotherapist performance. Work environment (b = 0.40; 95% CI = 0.28 to 0.53; p < 0.001), leadership (b = 0.15; 95% CI = 0.03 to 0.28; p = 0.016), and non-formal education (b = 0.31; 95% CI = 0.19 to 0.44; p < 0.001) had an indirect effect on performance through motivation. Leadership also had an indirect effect on performance through work environment (b = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.34 to 0.56; p < 0.001). The model showed good fit (Chi-square = 9.92; p = 0.105; RMSEA = 0.066; CFI = 0.99; TLI = 0.97; SRMR = 0.024).

Conclusion: Motivation, work environment, and formal education have a direct influence on physiotherapist performance, while leadership and non-formal education have an indirect influence through motivation and work environment as mediators.
