    Area of Science:

    • Social Work
    • Occupational Psychology
    • Human Resources Management

    Background:

    • Occupational tedium is a significant concern in high-stress professions.
    • Understanding the drivers of job dissatisfaction is crucial for retaining social service workers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the primary factors contributing to occupational tedium among social service workers.
    • To differentiate the impact of interpersonal dynamics versus intrinsic job conditions on job satisfaction.

    Main Methods:

    • The study assessed occupational tedium in social service workers.
    • Factors examined included interpersonal relations with colleagues and clients, and intrinsic work conditions like task variety.

    Main Results:

    • Interpersonal relations with colleagues and clients were found to be stronger predictors of occupational tedium than intrinsic work conditions.
    • Job assignment variety did not significantly correlate with reduced occupational tedium.

    Conclusions:

    • Social service workers' experiences of occupational tedium are predominantly influenced by social interactions.
    • These findings highlight the critical role of supportive and positive interpersonal environments in mitigating job stress for social workers.
