The Relationship of Selected Organizational and Work Related Stress Factors to Indices of Job Satisfaction Among Rural Public Child Welfare Workers

This study was designed to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and work environment factors among child welfare workers. The association of organization, workload and rural community factors to general, external and internal job satisfaction was correlated on a sample of one hundred fifteen line protective service caseworkers from two midwestern states. The Environment Problem Rating Scale (EPRS) was designed for this study to measure the independent variables. The Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS) was employed to rate job satisfaction. An additional measure of self-reported job stress was correlated with the environmental factors.
