The relationship between social climate, fear of assault, challenging behaviour and burnout in staff who work with people with intellectual disabilities

This volume includes three papers that focus upon the relationship between staff, client and organisational variables with burnout in staff who work with people with intellectual disabilities. The literature review critically examines the literature related to organisational climate and burnout in staff who work within services for people with intellectual disabilities. The empirical paper examines the relationship between client (challenging behaviour), staff cognitive (fear of assault) and organisational variables (social climate) with staff burnout, and aimed to investigate which of these variables contribute most to staff burnout. These papers have been prepared for submission to the Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities. The public domain briefing paper (Appendix 1) briefly outlines the findings from the literature review and the empirical paper.
