It is a feeling of fulfillment associated with working; it is also an attitude about various facets of a job, such as working conditions, supervision, and decisionmaking. Job satisfaction in child and youth care is crucial because at-risk children and families need competent, enthusiastic workers who can be depended upon. In this third edition, the premise is that job satisfaction comes from many personal sources and is nourished by supportive agency practices, daily interactions, and long-term goals.
