The job satisfaction profile of persons working within the counselling and helping professions (educators, remedial pedagogens, and pedagogens in a disabled workshop setting) was compared to the population norm scores. There was evidence of a general ‘burned-out’ profile: psychosocial workers exhibited greater general job pressure and dissatisfaction, complained more about their relationship to coworkers, and felt unable to pursue their recreational and recovery needs. Furthermore, this characteristic profile is not affected by work context (child-care institutes, remedial centres or disabled workshops), age or gender (females were somewhat less career-motivated compared to males). Neuroticism was positively correlated with job pressure and dissatisfaction. Extraverts were inclined to be more dissatisfied with their work and yielded higher career motivation scores compared to introverts. There was some indication that the combinative effects of trait Psychoticism and Neuroticism may relate to a composite ‘fusing’ general job dissatisfaction, and job pressure. |
