The aim of the study was to measure the presence of work engagement and wellbeing
among Gestalt play therapists in South Africa.
A literature study was undertaken to examine the concepts of work engagement and
well-being, and a conceptual framework was given of the Gestalt play therapist and
the work that they do with traumatized children within the South African context. This
literature study forms the theoretical framework in which the study was done.
After completion of the literature study, the empirical study was conducted. The
researcher made use of a biographical questionnaire and four psychometric
instruments to compile research data; it is the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale,
Satisfaction with Life Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale and Scales of Psychological
Well-being. The data obtained was quantatively analysed, research findings were
discussed and recommendations were made.
The empirical data indicated work engagement and well-being to be statistically
significant present in Gestalt play therapists in South Africa. / M. Diac. (Play Therapy) / Social Work
