Abstract

This study sought to know the factors associated with the employability of the Radiologic Technology graduates of De La Salle University-Aguinaldo from SY 1992-1994. The descriptive research method was used in this study. The respondents were 146 or 39.35% out of 371 Radiologic Technology graduates school year 1992-1994. The mean, percentage, and chi-square test of association and Cramer's V were used to analyze the data. In the light of the result or findings in this study it can be concluded that most of the respondents were young, the number of the male respondents was the same with the number of female respondents Most of the respondents were graduates of BSRT, had good academic performance and very good internship performance. Most of them passed the licensure examination. Most of the respondents were presently employed in course-related jobs. The number of those who were employed in course-related jobs, the number of those who were employed in non-course-related jobs as well as the number of those not employed were the same whether the respondents were young or old. This implies that age is not a basis for hiring or employing radiologic technologists. More of those who were employed were male respondents. This implies that employers prefer male radiologic technologists. The reason perhaps is that the male technologists could easily help or handle big patients and heavy machines. The number of those who were employed among the BSRT graduates was the same as those who were employed among the ART graduates. This implies that the employers hired both BSRT and ART graduates. Those with high academic performance and high internship performance were those who were employed. This implies that the employers prefer to employ those who show academic excellence and internship excellence. Those who were licensed were those who were employed. This implies that employers follow the Labor Code which requires that only licensed technologists are given authority to practice their profession.
