ARTICLE REVIEW 1 Journal Article Review PADM 700: Public Administration Ethics, Statesmanship, and Governance Dr. Ronald McDaniel March 17, 2024

ARTICLE REVIEW 2 Journal Article Review Geisler, M., Berthelsen, H., & Muhonen, T. (2019). Retaining Social Workers: The Role of Quality of Work and Psychosocial Safety Climate for Work Engagement, Job Satisfaction, and Organizational Commitment. Human Service Organizations: Management, Leadership & Governance, 43 (1), 1- 15. https://doi.org/10.1080/23303131.2019.1569574 Article in Review The article in review is called Retaining Social Workers: The Role of Quality of Work and Psychosocial Safety Climate for Work Engagement, Job Satisfaction, and Organizational Commitment (Geisler et al., 2019). This article studies social work workload and increase in stress-related health issues in human service organizations, resulting in high turnover rates. The work environment of social workers is an important topic in public policy since it affects quality of services provided by social workers to the general public. Social work jobs demand constant emotional and mental resources that can result in physical and mental distress. The article investigates how this happens and explores how psychosocial safety climate and perceived quality of work could predict indicators of retention among social workers. The central thesis of the article is that there is a consistent positive relationship between the retention and quality of work performed by social workers and the three predictors of work engagement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment (Geisler et al., 2019). Within this article review many factors will be taken into consideration. The method of collection will be reviewed. The data collected will be reviewed in its entirety. The conclusion of the authors will be reviewed and scrutinized. Lastly, the weaknesses and strengths of the research

ARTICLE REVIEW 3 and the conclusion will be reviewed. Reviews are important to the scholarly and academic field since they help to hold authors accountable and increase the relatability of the future content written. Methodology The method used to collect data was quantitative in style, using the Likert scale, but used to give value to qualitive research statements. The overall goal of the article is to prove whether two work environmental factors, being Psychosocial safety climate and quality of work relate to retention among social workers: work engagement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment or not (Geisler et al., 2019). To collect data the researchers included it as a part of a workplace survey sent out in a Swedish city. This survey was sent out to 1,044 social workers via email. The email included a link to the actual survey, and the survey itself took 20 minutes to complete on average. The participation rate was right around 80% with 831 workers filling out the survey (Geisler et al., 2019). Among the 831 workers who responded to the survey, all of them had direct work with clients (Geisler et al., 2019). This direct work with clients was in different capacities but all considered to be direct client contact all the same. In fact, any participants who answered to have worked in a supervisory position, or left the question blank, were excluded from the data(Geisler et al., 2019). In the end, 725 participants presented good quality data for collection. Also important is that the workers were unaware that this was being used for further research. The dealings of the survey metrics and responses were left between the researchers and the social work supervisors, HR team, and other various social work representative (Geisler et al., 2019). The survey was sent out by said representatives and not the research team themselves.
