| JOB SATISFACTION | SUPPORT STAFF | EXPERIENCESSummary: Points out that research on staff supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) tends to focus on negative aspects of the work. This current study expands on previous research on the positive consequences that work in the IDD field has on staff using a brief version of the Staff Positive Contributions Questionnaire with 926 staff. Findings lend support to the idea that we need to consider both positive and negative aspects of work life. This brief scale may be a useful index of how staff benefit from their work.
