Wandel des Berufsbildes und Berufszufriedenheit von Chrischoma Pastoren in der Schweiz / Changing job descriptions and job satisfaction among Chrischona pastors in Switzerland

Text in German and English / This MTh dissertation is about the meaning and change of the pastoral position and role as it
is reflected in pastoral theological literature of the last thirty years. For this purpose different
concepts of work satisfaction are described and applied to the pastoral context. Furthermore,
results of empirical investigations among ministers in German speaking and various other
countries are discussed and aspects of job satisfaction of pastors are presented. This is
followed by an investigation of changing expectations regarding the pastoral role which affect
the job satisfaction of a minister. A comparison of two church orders (1991 and 2003) from
Chrischona Switzerland demonstrates the changing job descriptions of pastors within a freechurch
denomination. The final chapter is a discussion of some pastoral theological
consequences of the relation between changing job descriptions and job satisfaction. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M.Th. (Practical Theology)
