Background: Scene time is one of the performance indices in pre-hospital
emergency system. This research has been done with aim to improve the
performance indices of emergency medical technicians with using motivating
potential score in the Job characteristic model. The main purpose of this
investigation is to answer to this question: what relationship does exist
between Job characteristic and scene time of emergency medical technicians?
Materials and Methods: This research is a correlation study. Data has been
gathered from 45 emergency medical technicians and has been analyzed by
SPSS software in term of descriptive statistic, Pearson’s coefficient and U test.
Results: The results show that significant relation exists between Job
characteristic and scene time of emergency medical technicians (r= -0.28). In
fact, only skill variety, task significance and feedback with negative correlation
coefficients (-0.34, -0.37, -0.44) have a significant relation with average
of scene time. There is not any meaningful relation between demographic
variable and average of scene time (p>0.05). The results also indicate that
all variables of Job characteristic exclude skill variety have less average than
global average.
Conclusion: Regarding to the results of this investigation, emergency
management must pay peculiar attention to the Job characteristics of
emergency medical technicians and improve the performance indices through
increasing the Job characteristic.
