Abstract:
The purpose of this correlational research study was to provide insights into specific extrinsic organizational rewards, extrinsic social rewards, and intrinsic rewards that lead to certified occupational therapy assistants' (COTA) organizational commitment, and how managers and recruiters can utilize this knowledge in developing more effective COTA recruitment and retention strategies. The target population for this investigation included COTAs who worked full-time in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia and were members of the American Occupational Therapy Association. Findings from this study indicated that predictors of COTAs' organizational commitment were determined by intrinsically rewarding job tasks that were supported by their work environment, salary, and promotional opportunities.
