System Reform and Job Satisfaction of Juvenile Justice Teachers

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of five years of system-wide reform on factors associated with the job satisfaction of juvenile justice teachers. Prior to this research, no data were available on the effect of reform on the job satisfaction of this population. A comprehensive survey was administered to teachers who had been in the juvenile justice system since 1998 when reform measures were implemented. Completed surveys were received from 151 of 158 teachers for a response rate of 96%. Overall, juvenile justice teachers reported being satisfied with the results of the system-wide reforms. The greatest areas of dissatisfaction were in the areas of behavior management and increased stress. Future research directions and implications for practice are described.
