The purpose of this relationship study was to examine the levels of job satisfaction, self-esteem, and attitudes toward persons with disabilities of rehabilitation counselors. The primary focus was on Herzberg's motivation/hygiene factors. While respondents generally reported high ratings in all three areas, two of Herzberg's motivation factors appeared to be significantly low. Job satisfaction variables were found to have significant correlations with scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Issues in Disabilities Scale. Based on the findings, supervisors and managers are requested to remain sensitive to the job related needs of those who serve people with disabilities.

The purpose of this relationship study was to examine the levels of self-esteem and job satisfaction of vocational rehabilitation professionals and to determine if a relationship exists between these variables. A specific focus was on Herzberg's motivation/hygiene factors. As a group, the respondents demonstrated high levels of self-esteem. While respondents reported a high degree of overall career satisfaction, they reported much lower satisfaction levels with hygiene factors. Perhaps more significantly, respondents reported lower levels of satisfaction with two of the motivation factors. Significant correlations were found between self-esteem and overall career satisfaction in addition to three of the motivation/hygiene factors. Based on the findings of this study, readers are requested to remain mindful of the self-esteem and job related needs of those who serve people with disabilities.

Employment attitudes and mental health of long-term unemployed people with disabilities were investigated in a cross sectional study. During an interview, people selected themselves into four employment attitude groups, those who wanted employment (28%), those who were not able to work (35%), those who had alternatives to employment (30%) and those who were interested in training (7%). Mental health was assessed by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE). The results indicated that mental health was low with high distress and low self-esteem scores evident in the four groups. Implications for rehabilitation counselors are discussed.

The option for specialization is explored to address expanding roles for rehabilitation counselors. Several important considerations are identified for Rehabilitation Counselor Education (RCE) program faculty opting for a specialization. Development of specialty tracks in psychiatric and developmental disabilities are offered as viable options for a master's degree program in rehabilitation counseling. Authors discuss a model using a collaborative capacity-building process in response to national and state needs of persons with disabilities relative to rehabilitation counseling specialization.

Vocational Preference

Rehabilitation counselors who completed the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) and Holland's Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI) in 1970 while in graduate school, were followed up in 1975. Of the 164 for whom correct addresses could be obtained, 58 percent responded to questions about their satisfaction and persistence in the job of rehabilitation counselor. Although the SVIB and VPI scales usually associated with social service occupations were not related to subsequent job satisfaction, multiple correlation of several other scales predicted 18 percent of the job satisfaction score variance. For women counselors the best predictor of later job satisfaction was the academic achievement key of the SVIB; scores of this key were inversely related to later satisfaction as rehabilitation counselors. Multiple correlations also yielded small but significant relationships between SVIB and VPI scores and persistence in rehabilitation counselor work.

The authors of this study sought to examine the job satisfaction and motivational level of high school teachers regarding the Hygiene and Motivator factors as identified by Herzberg and to find out the effect of fulfillment of Hygiene and Motivator factors on motivation of high school teachers. A questionnaire titled the quantitative data from Lester’s (1987) TJSQ assessment of teacher job satisfaction and Hoy et al. ’s (1991) OCDQ-RS assessment of school climate were used to collect data for the study. While the data for the study was analyzed using multiple statistical procedures: mean point value, standard deviation, and variance, t-test of significance and One-way-analysis of variance (ANOVA). A paper survey has been distributed to 198 respondents who are all actively involved in high school teaching in Isparta, Turkey. However, Frederick Herzberg's theory which states that what he terms hygiene (job context) factors contribute to dissatisfaction while motivator (job content) factors relate to satisfaction, the study indicates that both hygiene factors and motivation factors contribute to satisfaction and especially, hygiene factors were more satisfying factors in the high school teachers group.

Hygiene Theory

Despite the plethora of previous studies on the various uses of e-learning, there is a dearth of research on employees' action to use corporate e-learning (ACE1). The present study attempts to address this lack in literature by investigating whether individual factors such as self-esteem and need for cognition, and job factors such as job hygiene factors (JHF) and job motivation factors (JMF) applied from Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory affect learners' ACE. This study tests the difference between high action and low action learners. Findings indicate that high action learners have higher individual factors and JMF than lower action learners. The difference in JHF between high action learners and low action learners is not significant. From a practical perspective, the authors' findings provide corporate e-learning providers with a heightened perspective into the possible actions of its employees regarding their use of corporate e-learning programs and platforms, which could offer organizations with important insights into human capital investment.
