Abstrakt: This article examines the retention plans and job satisfaction of 813 full time social workers who provide direct services to elderly clients. Almost nine Out of ten of the respondents indicated that they planned to remain in the field of gerontology, with six out of ten doing so because of the personal satisfaction they derived from working with the elderly. Job autonomy, supervisor, co-worker, and organizational support as well as client satisfaction and self-esteem were significantly associated with job satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
