Role Characteristics and their Relationships to Job Attitudes Among Workers in Maryland Adolescent Behavioral Treatment Centers Michael J. Walk University of Baltimore

Introduction

The Research Setting Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) operates three Regional Institutes for Children and Adolescents (RICA). Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) operates three Regional Institutes for Children and Adolescents (RICA). Treatment staff types Treatment staff types  Direct-Care (residential)  Clinical (therapists)  Administrative

Importance of This Research Residential adolescent mental health treatment requires a continuum of care including consistent and diligent staff. Residential adolescent mental health treatment requires a continuum of care including consistent and diligent staff. Current reports suggest high turnover rates and low levels of job satisfaction among employees treating emotionally disturbed adolescents, especially direct-care workers.

Discussion

Summary Negative role characteristics were found to be associated with low levels of positive job attitudes. Negative role characteristics were found to be associated with low levels of positive job attitudes. Direct-care staff and males reported higher levels of negative role characteristics and lower levels of positive job attitudes. Direct-care staff and males reported higher levels of negative role characteristics and lower levels of positive job attitudes.

Possible Actions Role Characteristics Role Characteristics  Improve communication and evaluation procedures.  Make all expectations clear, complementary, and congruent.  Give special attention to improving the psychological climate of direct-care staff and males in order to achieve the biggest organizational gains.
