Abstract
Research on professional occupations has defined varying criteria that an occupation must meet to be considered a profession. Involvement by the members in their professional organization is a recurrent theme. A questionnaire consisting of Hall's Occupational Inventory, an involvement scale, and a demographic survey was used to determine the relationship among three factors of the Indiana Occupational Therapy Association members: (a) demographics, (b) professional attributes, and (c) involvement in a state occupational therapy organization. Determining these relationships is significant for understanding membership and involvement in a state occupational therapy association. Findings indicated significant differences in terms of hourly involvement in a state occupational therapy association between respondents with entry-level and post-professional degrees and respondents who were married and those who were not married.
