Scant attention has been paid to the quality of working life of social care workers in Ireland. This study sought to characterise both the quality of working life and the well-being of social care workers in the disability sector.
A cross-sectional survey of social care workers (n = 307) was conducted. Measures of work-related quality of life, well-being, organisational constraints, workload and turnover intention were included in the survey.
Experiencing higher organisational constraints, longer work hours and higher workload were related to lower quality of working life, F(9,242) = 24.953, p < 0.001. Higher organisational constraints and higher workload also negatively influenced well-being, F(9,240) = 11.494, p < 0.001. Linear regression indicated that higher turnover intention was influenced by lower quality of working life, F(1, 279) = 306.319, p < 0.001.
The results indicate the importance of the influence of work-related factors on both quality of working life and well-being in social care workers in disability services in Ireland.
爱尔兰社会护理工作者的工作生活质量很少受到关注。本研究旨在描述残疾领域社会护理工作者的工作生活质量和幸福感。
对社会护理工作者(n = 307)进行了横断面调查。调查包括与工作相关的生活质量、幸福感、组织限制、工作量和离职意向等测量指标。
经历更高的组织限制、更长的工作时间和更高的工作量与更低的工作生活质量相关,F(9,242) = 24.953,p < 0.001。更高的组织限制和更高的工作量也对幸福感产生负面影响,F(9,240) = 11.494,p < 0.001。线性回归表明,更高的离职意向受到更低的工作生活质量的影响,F(1, 279) = 306.319,p < 0.001。
结果表明,工作相关因素对爱尔兰残疾服务领域社会护理工作者的工作生活质量和幸福感具有重要影响。
