title: Employees' job satisfaction, residents' functioning, and treatment progress in psychiatric institutions.
abstract: This article examines the job satisfaction of 297 direct care workers in relation to residents' levels of functioning and treatment progress in twenty-two wards of three long-term psychiatric institutions. Employees' satisfaction with work was significantly associated with residents' progress in community adjustment potential, but not with residents' change in pathology or behavior on the ward.
