This study employs Q methodology to analyze the job satisfaction of healthcare interpreters/translators who serve Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand. The unique working conditions imposed by the pandemic are addressed from the various perspectives of the interpreters and translators, who are also migrants. The participants (n = 26) were clustered into different groups based on their shared viewpoints on sources of job satisfaction. The findings confirm that job satisfaction among healthcare interpreters and translators is multifaceted and personal; they derive from interactions with other members of the interpreter’s immediate professional circle, confidence in one’s own inherent values, and an emotional urge to belong to their professional community, which is dominated by the host country’s citizens. This study concludes that recognizing and bolstering the commitments of healthcare interpreters and translators is vital for establishing work-life balance and should be supported by the state, particularly during times of crisis.

Due to the advent of social media, translators have started communicating about their work- and non-work-related experiences and associated attitudes on these platforms. COVID-19 accelerated a shift toward a greater reliance upon digital media (Tsao et al. 2021; Wong et al. 2021). This paper uses social media data to examine how Chinese translators and/ or interpreters used their Facebook pages as a channel to express their job dis/satisfaction between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022. Conclusions regarding practitioner job satisfaction are based on an analysis of information gathered concerning expressed attitudes on access to expanded networking opportunities, client appreciation, and the acquisition of new knowledge. Practitioners value their role as cultural mediators. COVID-19 introduced unprecedented changes, requiring practitioners to adapt to remote work settings and an increased reliance upon digital tools. Despite income and job security concerns due to the pandemic, practitioners remain committed to delivering quality work.
