Personal Religiosity and Spirituality Associated with Social Work Practitioners' Use of Religious-Based Intervention Practices
Social workers (N = 221) in the Southeastern USA responded to survey questions measuring 3 outcome variables, attitude toward religion in social work, the appropriateness of 15 religious-based interventions, utilization of these practices, and 3 dimensions of spirituality: spiritual experiences (spirituality), religious practices (organized religiosity), and religious affiliation. Attitude was generally favorable, and more than half of the interv…
A Typology of Outcome Patterns in Three-Variable Models: The Pervasive Role of Mediation in Causal Systems
Developing a lexicon of variable types is essential for effective research, but existing variable typologies use different terms for the same process, and remain incomplete. We offer a typology in which extraneousness is distinguished from mediation and moderation; suppression is subsumed under mediation; and the hypothesized role of X or Z in a three-variable system can be recast. Simple multiple regression and path analytic examples are used to…

Measuring the Monday blues: Validation of a job satisfaction scale for the human services
Nothing is as central to the work lives of social workers or as important to an organization's effective use of personnel as the satisfaction staff derive from their employment. The present study presents a short (14-item) facet-based, direct measure of job satisfaction that can be used by researchers and administrators. The scale was developed and validated in a series of studies from 1980 to 1991 involving over 600 helping professionals. Across…
A Preliminary Test of a Stress-Strain-Outcome Model for Reconceptualizing the Burnout Phenomenon
A stress-strain-outcome model of burnout was tested on 91 social workers who completed Maslach's (1981) burnout inventory, the MBI, and scales assessing work-specific stress, social support, and the negative outcomes of dissatisfaction with and intention to quit one's job. Significant relationships of stress with emotional exhaustion (an MBI subscale conceptualized as strain), and exhaustion with negative outcomes provided support for the model: …
Perceptions of professional competence: Cross-disciplinary ratings of psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists
Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and nurses rated members of the first three disciplines on effectiveness of intervention for six hypothetical clients representing a range of mental health problems. Results revealed within-group bias, with perceptions that professionals sharing raters' own professional affiliation would be more helpful, expert, and warm, as well as the preferred recipient of referrals. Clinical social workers were ra…
The buffering effect of social support on parental stress
In a study of 125 mothers, parental stress was associated with lower role satisfaction and maternal self-esteem and with higher psychological and somatic symptomatology for those mothers with less social support. In addition, more highly educated mothers were found to be less affected by parental stress. Theoretical and policy implications of the findings are discussed
Work Load and Burnout: Can Social Support and Perceived Accomplishment Help
Conceptual and empirical work on burn-out among professional helpers generally has assumed that excessive work load contributes to burnout (Jackson
Feminism among Social Work Students
Research conducted at the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work assessed the feminist behavior and identification of two samples of MSW students using the Feminist Behavior Scale, which was developed specifically for the study. The students' responses indicated that they had little awareness of feminist issues and did not identify themselves as feminists. The study also found that the MSW curriculum does not focus on the psychology, hist…
