| Annotation | The question "How do specific managerial practices support home care assistants' job satisfaction?" is considered. Staff from three Midwest US home care agencies were surveyed regarding their perceptions of specific managerial practices and intrinsic job satisfaction. Results of a hierarchical regression model indicate that supportive leadership practices, client-centred in-service training style, and mission implementation together explained 52% of the variance in intrinsic job satisfaction. Supportive leadership was described as the extent to which a supervisor communicates effectively, shows personal concern or caring, and maintains high professional standards. Mission implementation was defined as how strongly the staff felt the mission influenced the hiring process, orientation, in-service training, and everyday management. Effective in-service training included discussion of types of clients and how to handle common challenges effectively. (RH). |
