摘要
This study examined the direct effects of work-related factors (i.e., organizational support, job security, job stress) on life satisfaction among public-sector social workers (N = 221) in the occupied Palestinian Territory and the indirect effects of those variables on life satisfaction through job satisfaction. Using path analysis, results indicated that job security directly influenced life satisfaction. Organizational support and job stress indirectly influenced life satisfaction through job satisfaction. Policies such as fair work contracts and supportive supervisors could enhance social workers' well-being. Future research is needed to strengthen our understanding of other factors related to life satisfaction (e.g., trauma exposure).
