Social workers rated as moderate burnout associated with satisfaction with their jobs (−.48 to −.55) and with role conflict (.41) and role ambiguity (−.41 to −.65).

Literature suggests that job satisfaction and health are related to each other in a synergic way. However, this might not always be the case, and they may present misaligned relationships. Considering job satisfaction and mental health as indicators of wellbeing at work, we aim to identify four patterns (i.e., satisfied-healthy, unsatisfied-unhealthy, satisfied-unhealthy, and unsatisfied-healthy) and some of their antecedents. In a sample of 783 young Spanish employees, a two-step cluster analysis procedure showed that the unsatisfied-unhealthy pattern was the most frequent (33%), followed by unsatisfied-healthy (26.6%), satisfied-unhealthy (24.8%) and, finally, the satisfied-healthy pattern (14.3%). Moreover, as hypothesized, discriminant analysis suggests that higher levels of job importance and lower levels of role ambiguity mainly differentiate the satisfied-healthy pattern, whereas overqualification and role overload differentiate, respectively, the unsatisfied-healthy and satisfied-unhealthy patterns. Contrary to our expectations, role conflict also characterizes the satisfied-unhealthy pattern. We discuss the practical and theoretical implications of these findings.

The aim of this review is to determine  roles of social workers in mental healthcare teams. This study used a systematic type of literature review in meeting its objective. It involved an online search of articles published in the ProQuest Central database. The search strategy involved retrieving articles using the key words ‘Social Worker’ AND ‘Mental health care’ from the ProQuest Thesaurus. A total of 47 articles were retrieved from the  ProQuest database. After screening and conducting an eligibility test, a total of 37 articles were excluded from the study for failing  to meet the study inclusion criteria. We included articles that; were published in the English language from 2015 to 2020, outlined roles of social workers in mental healthcare teams, and had verifiable scientific procedures. The remaining 10 articles were subjected to content analysis after fulfilling all inclusion criteria set for the study. From the results of content analysis of the 10 articles, Four (4) articles showed that roles of social workers in mental healthcare teams were those of  social support facilitators, three (3) articles showed that their roles were those of social rehabilitation specialists,  two (2) articles indicated that they played roles of  social reintegration specialists, while one (1) article showed that their roles were those case managers. We concluded that in mental healthcare teams, social workers play roles of social support facilitators, social rehabilitation therapists, social reintegration specialists, and case managers.

The purposes of the study were to determine the relationships between stress, role ambiguity, and role conflict and to correlate these measures with job satisfaction. Direct service workers ( n = 138) in mental health, mental retardation, and physical restoration facilities participated. All variables were significantly intercorrelated. Highest correlations were between stress, role ambiguity, and job satisfaction. Role conflict was not significantly correlated with job satisfaction when stress and role ambiguity were partialed out. Leaders' structuring behaviors should be studied as a potential moderator of stress and role ambiguity.

The Relationship

Childhood maltreatment is a major public health issue worldwide. It increases a range of health-risk behaviors, psychological and physical problems, which are associated with an increased need for mental health services in adulthood. Identification of mediating factors in the relationship between maltreatment and seeking mental health care may help attenuate the negative consequences of childhood maltreatment and promote more appropriate treatment. This study aims to examine whether the relationship between childhood maltreatment and perceived need for mental health care is mediated by psychological distress and/or moderated by social support. Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health 2012 are analyzed. A total of 8,993 participants, who had complete information on childhood maltreatment and diagnoses of mental disorders or psychological distress, are included in this study. Structural equation modeling and the PROCESS macro were used to identify relationships among childhood maltreatment, perceived needs for mental health care, and psychological distress. Hierarchical linear regression was then used to verify the moderated mediation model. We found that psychological distress partially mediated the effect of childhood maltreatment on perceived needs for mental health care in adulthood. Social support played an important role in terms of moderating the relationship between maltreatment and perceived needs for care. For those with a history of childhood maltreatment, those who perceived a low level of social support were more likely to have higher levels of psychological distress and perceived need for mental health care. This is the first study to identify the separate and combined roles of psychological distress and social support in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and perceived need for mental health care. Selective prevention strategies should focus on social support to improve mental health services among people with a history of childhood maltreatment.

Hotel Employees

Accommodation businesses are stressful workplaces due to their dynamic and demanding work environment. Role ambiguity and role conflict are major stress factors for hotel employees, causing low levels of satisfaction and performance and high levels of turnover. The main purpose of this study was to explore the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between role conflict, role ambiguity, and job performance. The data was collected through fully structured questionnaires from employees working in 3, 4 and 5 star hotels in Alanya, one of the leading tourism destinations in Turkey. The data was analyzed via structural equation modeling. The results revealed that both role conflict and role ambiguity have direct negative influences on job performance and job satisfaction for hotel employees. Moreover, it was also proved that job satisfaction mediates the effect of role conflict and role ambiguity on job performance. In line with the findings, theoretical and managerial implications, contributions, limitations, and future research directions were discussed. It was implied that role stress factors must be addressed seriously by hotel managers in order to increase job performance.

This research aims to investigate empirically the influence of pay satisfaction, role conflict and role ambiguity on auditor turnover intention, which are mediated by job satisfaction. A number of 168 auditors who work for Public Accounting Firms in East Java participated in this research. The data is analyzed using PLS (Partial Least Squares). The result shows that pay satisfaction positively influences job satisfaction and negatively influences auditors’ turnover intention. Role conflict does not have any direct influence to job satisfaction but has a direct positive influence toward turnover intention. Role Ambiguity positively influences job satisfaction and negatively influences auditors’ turnover intention. Besides, this research also reveals that job satisfaction has a partial mediation effect between pay satisfaction and auditors’ turnover intention and has a full mediation effect between role ambiguity and auditors’ turnover intention, but it has no mediation effect between role conflict and auditors’ turnover intention.
