Inclusive work environments as a pathway to an engaged child welfare workforce that intends to stay
A Dynamic Theory of Moral Distress in Child Welfare Workers
Child welfare (CW) professionals who provide direct services to families, referred to as ‘caseworkers’ in the USA, often have to act in ways that are inconsistent with their professional values, leading to feelings of guilt, anxiety and self-blame, referred to as moral distress. The conceptual basis for moral distress primarily comes from the nursing literature, leaving a theoretical gap in how CW workers experience moral distress. Hence, this st…
Planning and Implementing an Organizational Health Assessment in a Community Mental Health Setting
An examination of work engagement's antecedents and consequences in a sample of U.S. community mental health providers
The study examined the relationship between job demands and resources, work engagement, and turnover intentions in a community mental health context. Using path analysis, we tested a conceptual model where we hypothesised that job demands (pressure to produce and role ambiguity) had a negative relationship to work engagement (H1) and resources (team commitment, supervisor relationship, and connection to organisational mission) were positively rel…

Factors Associated with Caseworker Burnout in Child Welfare
Objective: Many studies view factors related to caseworker burnout as unchanging throughout a caseworker's career. This assumption may be unfounded, as there is considerable variation in levels of expertise and need for support among caseworkers over the course of a career. To that end, we used the Copenhagen and job demands-resources models of burnout to examine how factors associated with client- and work-related burnout among caseworkers vary …
The impact of work-family conflict on psychological well-being
It is important to examine the workplace experiences and well-being of our social work colleagues in diverse national and cultural contexts. This study examines the relationship between work-family conflict and psychological well-being using cross-sectional data from 68 Salvadoran social workers. Based on hierarchical regression analysis results, work-family conflict (WFC) was inversely associated with psychological well-being which was attenuate…
Protective and risk factors associated with comorbid mental health disorders and psychological distress among Latinx subgroups
Psychological distress, often coupled with comorbid mental illnesses, affects Latinxs at higher rates and severity than other ethnic groups. This study examined differences in the association between comorbid mental illnesses and psychological distress between Latinx subgroups. Using a sample of 28,630 adults from the National Health Interview Survey, this study used hierarchical multiple regression models to test for differences in psychological…
Spirituality and worker well-being
Workers in the social work, mental health, and human service fields are increasingly encouraged to use spirituality and religion in their interventions with clients. This emphasis on the importance of spirituality and religion on client wellness could be beneficial equally when used by social workers and other human service providers to promote their own well-being. Using a cross-sectional availability sample of 133 human service workers, we exam…
Examining internal and external job resources in child welfare
I'm So Stressed!’
The well-documented day-to-day and long-term experiences of job stress and burnout among employees in child welfare organisations increasingly raise concerns among leaders, policy makers and scholars. Testing a theory-driven longitudinal model, this study seeks to advance understanding of the differential impact of job stressors (work-family conflict, role conflict and role ambiguity) and burnout (emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation) on em…
Exploring the meaning of job burnout beyond the Western context
This study explores the meaning of job burnout to social workers within the Salvadoran cultural context using qualitative data from 68 respondents. The themes that emerged during the study suggest that the most widely used three-dimensional conceptualization of job burnout developed by Maslach and colleagues (e.g. emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) is applicable within the Salvadoran context
Job burnout and affective wellbeing
The mediating role of inclusion
Support in the Workplace
We examined the impact of work–family conflict (WFC) on worker well-being and job burnout, as well as the role of social support in the workplace as a potential buffer against the influence of WFC. Results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses in a cross-sectional sample of 361 public child welfare workers indicate that WFC was related to reduced well-being and increased job burnout, whereas supervisory support moderated the relationship b…
