Book excerpt: Direct care workers (DCWs) provide a wide range of health and human service needs, including assistance and services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Research indicates the need for qualified staff is growing, and staff turnover is costly for agencies, affecting state and federal policymakers. With national policy requiring the transition from institutional settings to community-based alternatives, challenges for direct care workers include independent problem-solving and decision-making, along with greater responsibility. This study investigates the relationship between direct care staffs’ job satisfaction and self-monitoring of work tasks in residential service programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This research is intended to help further understand the relationship between job satisfaction and self-monitoring among DCWs that work with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. By understanding this relationship, it may help to possibly reduce turnover rates through refining task assignments and enhance support given beneficiaries of DCWs services.--Abstract
