Multiple Role Balance, Job Satisfaction, and Life Satisfaction in Women School Counselors
Bryant, Rhonda M.; Constantine, Madonna G.
Professional School Counseling, v9 n4 p265-271 Apr 2006
Many prior studies have reported that school counselors are at risk for experiencing mental health difficulties (e.g., professional burnout) as a result of their participation in a wide variety of service-oriented roles. The majority of school counselors are women, which underscores the importance of examining these individuals' unique work-related and life experiences. As such, this study explored the relationships among multiple role balance, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction in a sample of 133 women school counselors. Findings revealed that multiple role balance and job satisfaction were each positively predictive of overall life satisfaction, even after accounting for the effects of age, years of experience as a school counselor, and location of school environment. Implications of the findings and future research directions are discussed. (Contains 2 tables.)
