Abstract	The job satisfaction and organizational commitment of rehabilitation counselors working in public rehabilitation agencies in Alaska are the focus of this study. Participants were 14 rehabilitation counselor survey respondents whose agencies agreed to take part in the study. A total of 32 surveys were mailed. Job satisfaction was measured using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, though the sample size was too small to allow for extensive data analysis. The three components of organizational commitment (affective, normative, and continuance) were examined using the Organizational Commitment Scales. Potential predictor variables examined were: (1) years of service; (2) age; (3) education level; (4) Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) status; (5) conscientiousness; (6) initiative; (7) cooperation; and (8) attendance/punctuality. Both affective and normative commitment have been linked to superior performance, while continuance commitment has been linked to less than ideal performance. As a group, Alaska's public rehabilitation counselors seem to be operating rather equally from all components of commitment. Contains two appendices: (1) Job Satisfaction Items and (2) Organizational Commitment Items. (JBJ)
