Résumé : Introduction: Job satisfaction is a positive emotional state resulting from a person's evaluation of their work. Job satisfaction is a central concept in understanding attitudes towards work (productivity, motivation, commitment) and in preventing psychosocial risks.The aim of this study is to describe the typical profile of the most satisfied physiotherapist in the exercise of their profession in hospitals around Kinshasa. Method: The MSQ (Minesotta satisfaction Questionnaire) was administered to a group of 174 physiotherapists practising in Kinshasa hospitals, in order to assess their level of satisfaction. Of these, 40 were invited to a semi-structured interview for the qualitative analysis. The statistical approach consisted of ANOVA and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to determine the typical profile of the most satisfied physiotherapist. The qualitative analysis shed light on the interpretation of the results of the quantitative analysis. Results: The mean Global Satisfaction Index (GSI) was 3.16 ± 1.12, with 95% of physiotherapists satisfied with the practice of their profession. ANOVA showed that the GSI was influenced by 3 variables: diploma title, profession name and hospital work. The PCA revealed a number of determinants of satisfaction: professional experience, number and proxy of patients, investment (practice or training) and work organisation. Conclusion: The typical profile of the most satisfied physiotherapists is similar to that of a graduate physiotherapist with an ISTM diploma who does not work in a hospital but in a rehabilitation centre. These determinants of job satisfaction could help physiotherapists or professional organisations of physiotherapists in their quest for well-being in their careers.
