Perceptions of Work and Work Engagement among School Psychologists in Sweden
Landqvist, Linda; Schad, Elinor
International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, v10 n4 p447-460 2022
In the present study, we respond to recent calls to investigate work-related circumstances of school psychologists. As very limited research is done on work engagement among school psychologists, we also tested for the effect of well-established work-related factors on work engagement. A subsample of data from a survey distributed to all members of the Swedish Psychological Association was used to assess school psychologists' (N = 440) perceptions of work-related factors and work engagement. Our results indicate that a considerable part of the participating school psychologists experience high work demands and have trouble finding work--life balance. In general, however, school psychologists in Sweden experience high work engagement. The results also indicate that school psychologists in Sweden experience a lack of role clarity in their professional role. Our findings validate a model that underlines the importance of role clarity for school psychologists work engagement.
