Job Satisfaction and its Correlates among Public Relations Workers

Abstract

Managers are more likely to find satisfaction in their public relations jobs than are technicians, this survey of 649 public relations specialists from 46 states and the District of Columbia finds, with women somewhat more likely to consider their work significant. Women are also more likely to feel overworked. The study employed Likert scales and charted those aspects of work which public relations specialists find most satisfying. Among most desired aspects of PR jobs are freedom to use skills creatively and to make on-the-job independent judgments. Variety was highly valued. The survey found that most respondents had a basic college degree and about half either had a graduate degree or had worked (or were working) on one.
