Job Satisfaction, Recruitment, and Retention of Entry-Level Residence Life and Housing Staff
Davidson, Denise L.
Journal of College and University Student Housing, v38 n2 p78-93 2012
Most workers aspire to jobs where they are highly satisfied. This satisfaction may come from remuneration, opportunities for advancement, the work itself, or other factors. Studies have shown that job satisfaction has the potential to reduce absenteeism and employee turnover, but we still know little about the specific satisfaction levels of entry-level residence life and housing (RLH) professionals. This study examined a population of entry-level RLH practitioners in order to develop a profile of their levels of satisfaction with the overall job and five facets of satisfaction. In addition, the study examined differences among demographic characteristics and predictors of job satisfaction. Findings indicated significant differences in several areas and identified a predictive model for satisfaction with opportunities for promotion. Findings pointed to several implications for graduate faculty, supervisors, and entry-level professionals. (Contains 5 tables.)
