Abstract
|
|
|
This study, was intended to examine how social workers who experienced client violence affected their level of stress, depression and organizational commitment and to verify how depression and stress had a mediating effect between client violence and organizational commitment. To achieve this objective, 297 social workers from welfare institutions and other organizations participated in the study. This research utilized client violence, stress, depression and organizational commitment as variables. The data was analyzed by the structural equation model using the AMOS program. The results of this study indicated that client violence does not have a direct effect on organizational commitment but has an indirect effect on mediation stress and depression.
Even though client violence does not have a direct effect on organizational commitment however, stress has a mediating effect on depression, and stress had a direct mediating effect on depression which has a mediating effect on the organizational commitment. Study implications were discussed in terms of ways of developing programs and polices for social workers who experiences client`s violence.
