This study investigated the relationship of life, work, and leisure satisfaction of rehabilitation counselors employed in state/federal vocational rehabilitation agencies in the Rehabilitation Services Administrations (RSA) Region IV and determined which of the variables of age, sex, education, marital status, salary, tenure, number of successful closures a year, and client classification, accounted for the variances in those satisfactions. / A cover letter and a set of questionnaires (Satisfaction Questionnaire) were mailed to 658 rehabilitation counselors. Follow-up correspondence was mailed to the entire sample after a two-week interval. / A total of 336 rehabilitation counselors responded to the questionnaire. The majority of the respondents were male between the ages of 26 and 44 and were married. Eighty-three percent of respondents had a post baccalaureate education and were fairly evenly divided in their tenure with the state agency. / In the area of work, life and leisure satisfaction the counselors scored most consistently in life satisfaction with greater dispersion for work and leisure satisfaction. There were high levels of leisure, life, and work satisfaction. / Life and work satisfaction correlated at a higher level than did life and leisure and there was no correlation between work and leisure satisfaction. / In accounting for the variance in life satisfaction by work and leisure satisfaction, the results supported work satisfaction's contribution at a high percentage level (23%) whereas the contribution of leisure satisfaction was minimal (3%). / The variance in work, leisure and life satisfaction accounted for by the eight demographic variables was significant and led to the investigation of the interaction variables. The interaction variable of sex by marital status was found to be significant only for leisure satisfaction. The results of the data analyses supported the rejection of all five hypotheses investigated by this study. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-03, Section: A, page: 1018. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
