    Telecommuting Intensity’s Impact on Job Satisfaction and Burnout: A Moderated Mediation Model of Work-Family Conflict and Emotional Intelligence
    (2023-05) Sanchez, Katherine
    The purpose of this study was to examine whether emotional intelligence moderated the mediating effect of work-family conflict on the relationship between telecommuting intensity and job satisfaction and burnout. This study used a non-experimental, crosssectional research design. A convenience sample of 369 faculty in higher education who lived and worked in the United States and responded to a recruitment message participated in this study. Participants accessed a survey in Qualtrics via a link provided in an email or accessible via electronic posting. We collected sociodemographic and jobrelated information in addition to information about telecommuting, work-family conflict, emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, and burnout. Results showed that telecommuting intensity had a significant predictive effect on work-family conflict and job satisfaction, exhaustion, and disengagement; work-family conflict played a mediating role in the relationship between telecommuting intensity and job satisfaction, exhaustion, and disengagement; emotional intelligence played a moderating role in the relationship between work-family conflict and disengagement, as well as the indirect negative relationship (via work-family conflict) between telecommuting intensity and disengagement. Findings from this study add to the research on the relationship between telecommuting intensity and job satisfaction, exhaustion, and disengagement. This study informs future research on the effects of telecommuting and provide ideas for workplace interventions to increase job satisfaction and reduce burnout among faculty in higher education.

    Who Stays, Who Goes, Who Knows? A State-Wide Survey of Child Welfare Workers
    (Child and Family Services Review, 2017-01) Griffiths, Austin; Royse, David; Culver, Kaylee; Piescher, Kristine; Zhang, Yanchen
    Child welfare workforce turnover remains a significant problem with dire consequences. Designed to assist in its retention efforts, an agency supported state-wide survey was employed to capture worker feedback and insight into turnover. This article examines the quantitative feedback from a Southern state’s frontline child welfare workforce (N=511), examining worker intent to leave as those who intend to stay employed at the agency (Stayers), those who are undecided (Undecided), and those who intend to leave (Leavers). A series of One-Way ANOVAs revealed a stratified pattern of worker dissatisfaction, with stayers reporting highest satisfaction levels, followed by undecided workers, and then leavers in all areas (e.g., salary, workload, recognition, professional development, accomplishment, peer support, and supervision). A Multinomial Logistic Regression model revealed significant (and shared) predictors among leavers and undecided workers in comparison to stayers with respect to dissatisfaction with workload and professional development, and working in an urban area. Additionally, child welfare workers who intend to leave the agency in the next 12 months expressed significant dissatisfaction with supervision and accomplishment, and tended to be younger and professionals of color.
