Abstract | The job satisfaction and organizational commitment of rehabilitation counselors working in the public rehabilitation agency serving blind persons in Virginia are the focus of this study. Participants were 13 rehabilitation counselor survey respondents whose agencies agreed to take part in the study. A total of 19 surveys were mailed. Job satisfaction was measured using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. 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. Virginia's blind agency rehabilitation counselors showed patterns of job satisfaction and organizational commitment similar to rehabilitation counselors in the larger, national sample. Virginia's public rehabilitation agency is encouraged to develop ways of rewarding those counselor behaviors (conscientiousness, initiative, and cooperation) which are most predictive of job satisfaction, affective commitment, and normative commitment. Contains two appendices: (1) Job Satisfaction Items and (2) Organizational Commitment Items. (JBJ) |
