Determinants of Direct-Care Staff Turnover in Group Homes for Individuals with Mental Retardation.

Razza, Nancy J.

Mental Retardation, v31 n5 p284-91 Oct 1993

A model of direct care human service staff turnover was proposed and tested with 236 direct care staff members in 9 private, nonprofit New Jersey agencies. Four variables were found to be related to job satisfaction: (1) agreement of the job with personal goals and values; (2) burnout; (3) satisfaction with supervision; and (4) employment history.
