PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to determine if job satisfaction differs between speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working in school and medical settings. METHOD: A Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) was sent via electronic mail to 250 SLPs in each of the two settings. Job satisfaction scores were computed from subscale category ratings and were compared between the two settings. Subscale category ratings for pay, promotion, supervision, benefits, contingent rewards, operating conditions, coworkers, nature of work, and communication were analyzed for differences between and within settings. Age, caseload size, and years-at-position were analyzed by linear regression to determine whether these factors might predict job satisfaction. RESULTS: The survey had a response rate of 19.6% (N = 98 participants). While SLPs in both settings were generally satisfied with their jobs, SLPs in medical settings had significantly higher total job satisfaction scores. Respondents from both settings had similar satisfaction ratings for subscale categories, with nature of work receiving the highest rating and operating conditions and promotion the lowest. Results of the linear regression analysis for age, caseload, and years-at-position were not significant. CONCLUSION: Further research should evaluate important aspects of job satisfaction in both settings, especially nature of work and operating conditions. |
