AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DETERMINANTS OF JOB SATISFACTION AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY OF WORK LIFE OF GRASSROOTS SOCIAL WORKERS

Abstract

It is often simply assumed that social workers experience job satisfaction because it is assumed that people who choose this profession do so for altruistic reasons (King & Botha 1997:107). The consequence of the lack of job satisfaction among social workers is poor quality of work and this in turn has a negative impact on their physical health, mental health and social functioning (Vinokur-Kaplan, Jayarentne & Chess, 1994:95).
