Job satisfaction and turnover among social work administrators: a national survey.
Abstract
A group of respondents identified themselves as "administrators" in a national survey of social workers. The study included two dependent variables (job satisfaction and intent to turnover) and seven job facets as predictor variables (challenge, comfort, financial rewards, promotions, role ambiguity, role conflict, and workload). Overall, the administrators reported a high level of job satisfaction and believed they were successful in the performance of their duties. Nevertheless, more than a third of the respondents intended to find a new job. Regression analyses revealed that the only significant predictor of job satisfaction was challenge and that predictors of turnover were financial rewards and promotional opportunities. The gender differences found in the study are also discussed.
