The sample chosen to participate in the study was 70 Social Care Workers who work in …… There were a total of 61 respondents. The results indicated that job dissatisfaction for social care workers was strongly linked to emotional exhaustion as a result of continued occupational stress. Furthermore it was found that the more dissatisfied social care workers were with their jobs, the more likely they were to experience depersonalisation.
