Protective behavior of radiological technologists against radiation exposure is important to achieve reduction of the patientdoses without compromising medical achievements. This study attempts to provide a basic model for the sophisticatedintervention strategy that increases the level of the protective behavior of the technologists. The model was applied to realsituations in Korea to demonstrate its utility. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, the protectiveenvironment showed the highest relationship in the factors considered, r=0.637 (p<0.01). Secondly, the important factorswere protective environment in environment characteristics, expectation for the protective behavior 0.228 (p<0.001), self-efficacy 0.142 (p<0.001), and attitude for the protective behavior 0.178 (p<0.001) in personal characteristics, and dailypatient -0.112 (p<0.001) and number of the participation in the education session for the protective behavior 0.074 (p<0.05).Thirdly, the final protective behavior model by a path analysis method had direct influence on the attitude 0.171 (p<0.01)and environment 0.405 (p<0.01) for the protective behavior, self efficacy 0.122 (p<0.01), expectation for the protectivebehavior 0.16 (p<0.01), and self-efficacy in the specialty of projects 0.154 (p<0.01). The acceptance of the modeldetermined by the absolute fit index (GFI), 0.969, and by the incremental fit index (CFI), 0.943, showed very significantlevels. Value of 2/df that is a factor applied to verify the acceptance of the model was 37, which implies that the resultcan be accepted in the desirable range. In addition, the parsimonious fit index configured by AGFI (0.890) and TLI(0.852) was also considered as a scale that accepts the model in practical applications. In case of the establishment of some specific intervention strategies based on the protective behavior model againstharmful radiation effects proposed in this study, the strategy will provide an effective way to prevent medical harmfulradiation effects that could cause severe injuries to people.
