Abstract
The present study explored the levels of burnout and job satisfaction experienced by frontline child protection practitioners and whether the department in which they worked was associated with burnout and job satisfaction. Using a review of the research, as well as quantitative and qualitative methods, this study examined the prevalence and correlates of burnout and job satisfaction and proposed interventions for addressing these issues among frontline child protection workers. A survey that collected information on levels of burnout and job satisfaction among direct service child protection workers within the generally accepted frontline departments was administered to 112 frontline child protection workers. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to measure burnout on three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and personal accomplishment (PA) while job satisfaction was measured by both the single-item and full measure of the job satisfaction scale found in the Quality of Employment survey by Quinn and his colleagues.
