The job satisfaction of school psychologists is important because we know that dissatisfaction negatively affects job performance. School psychologists have become vital assets to the children in our school systems; therefore, it is important to periodically monitor their job satisfaction. In the present research, the modified Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) was used to measure factors related to job satisfaction. A data form was used to gather demographic information. Survey materials were distributed and returned by mail. The data collection process consisted of an initial survey distribution, a postcard reminder, and two follow-up mailings. Frequency data revealed that 90.2% of school psychologists in Pennsylvania were either very satisfied or satisfied with their jobs. Means on the modified MSQ indicated that school psychologists were satisfied with 18 out of 20 sources of job satisfaction. They were dissatisfied with advancement and school policies. Multiple regression procedures identified five demographic predictors of job satisfaction: psychologist-to-student ratio, desired time in research, membership in the Association of School Psychologists of Pennsylvania, control of activities performed, and control of relevant school policies. A chi-square analysis revealed that school psychologists in the present study were significantly more satisfied with their jobs compared with their counterparts of 10 years ago. Moreover, they were significantly more satisfied with seven sources of job satisfaction. Correlation coefficients indicated that race, number of coworkers, and psychologist-to-student ratio was associated with job satisfaction. Chi-square analyses showed that role functions have changed over the past 10 years. A chi-square analysis revealed that the school psychologists who participated in the present study were significantly more satisfied with their jobs compared with their national counterparts. Moreover, they were significantly more satisfied with four sources of job satisfaction. A multiple regression procedure revealed that intention to remain in their current position emerged as a significant predictor of job satisfaction for Pennsylvania school psychologists. Implications for school psychologists and recommendations for future research were discussed. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
