School Psychologists' Job Attitudes: A Systematic Review
Brown, Theresa J.; Sobel, Dana
Contemporary School Psychology, v25 n1 p40-50 Mar 2021
We conducted a systematic review of research on school psychologists' job attitudes. To do so, all available published research and dissertations (N = 58) on school psychologists' job attitudes were gathered and evaluated to address three research questions. First, we identified themes in the study of school psychologists' job attitudes. Themes identified were how job attitudes relate to roles, differences between actual and ideal roles, place of school psychology practice, personality and individual characteristics, and burnout. Second, we documented types of job attitudes studied. Here, results indicated that job satisfaction was the most commonly studied job attitude with most school psychologists reporting average to above average levels of job satisfaction. Finally, we attempted to examine the link between school psychologists' job attitudes with productive and counterproductive work behaviors. However, our review indicated that there has been no examination of the relationship between these variables. Future research will want to explore the link between job attitudes, such as job satisfaction, but others attitudes as well, and job behaviors. This is important as the field of school psychology is facing critical labor shortages, and research in this area will assist with recruitment and retention efforts.
