Abstract
The importance of minimizing role conflict of school counselors has been stressed by researchers as being very important, so that counselors can use their training and expertise to full advantage in the schools. Other studies have also addressed the impact that role conflict has on educators in general, as well as school counselors specifically. This study examines the relationship between school counselor role conflict and their current job satisfaction. Subjects for the study were 33 school counselors in the state of Missouri. The subjects completed a role conflict survey and an instrument measuring job satisfaction. A Pearson r correlation was performed to examine the possible relationship between the two variables. A significant negative relationship was found to exist between school counselor role conflict and their job satisfaction. A discussion of the limitations of the study and the implications for future research was also provided.
