Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine differences in satisfaction of public university Resident Assistants (RAs) with regard to several job satisfaction factors identified on the Resident Assistant Satisfaction Survey (RASS), specifically as compared to Casey's (2009) normative sample of RAs in privatized university housing. The RASS outlined eight Employment Aspect Factors and three Criterion Factors to determine RA job satisfaction. This study also determined if there were differences in job satisfaction for public university RAs based on gender, racial ethnic identification, or academic class standing. Resident Assistants from three Research I Florida institutions in the United States completed the RASS. There has been very little research identifying the factors influencing job satisfaction of paraprofessional RAs, specifically at Florida public institutions of higher education and as compared to a privatized university housing company. Experiencing dissatisfaction with the job can negatively affect a Resident Assistant as both staff and student. In turn, it can lead to an overall poor job performance, which could be detrimental to students living in the residence halls. This study added to the current body of research and ascertained ways in which the RA position could be improved based on identified differences and determinants of student staff satisfaction. The results that were compiled and presented demonstrate a significant difference in satisfaction on the factors of supervisor, institution, pay, facilities, intended tenure and non-involvement between public university housing RAs and privatized housing company RAs. A significant difference was also found in job satisfaction for gender in regards to promotions, but no significant differences were found based on racial ethnic identification. A significant difference was found in job satisfaction for academic class standing in regards to pay, general affect, and non-involvement. The significance and recommendations for higher education practitioners was discussed. Implications and recommendations for future research were also suggested, which included improvements in job training, recognition initiatives, staff development, and other housing aspects.

Book excerpt: Since first conceptualized in the 1970s, employee burnout has received much scholarly attention in various service-oriented fields. While some disciplines have benefited from an abundance of burnout research (e.g., nursing, education), other specific jobs have received limited attention. One such position is the Resident Assistant (RA) job on college campuses. RAs serve a critical, service-oriented role in higher education and have a wide range of difficult job responsibilities. As such, RAs are not immune to burnout. The limited existing research on RA burnout has failed to address the foundational cause of burnout; that is, the relationships between RAs who provide care and the residents to whom RAs are responsible for providing care. Therefore, this study addressed this "relationship gap" by using the theoretical framework of mattering to explore the relationships between RAs and their residents. On the most fundamental level, mattering asks if others are aware of us, find us important, and rely on us. This study surveyed RAs at four four-year Midwestern institutions. The collected data were analyzed using quantitative procedures to assess differences in RA mattering and burnout between gender, community composition, and employment choice; to determine the relationships between RA mattering, burnout, and job satisfaction; to develop models of RA mattering predicting RA burnout; and, to develop models predicting RA job satisfaction through RA background characteristics, mattering, and burnout. The results of this study reveal that RAs who chose not to return to their position the following year perceive lower levels of mattering to their residents and increased feelings of burnout. Additionally, mattering was found to significantly predict two of the three burnout dimensions: depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Combined with the three dimensions of burnout, select components of mattering significantly predicted a substantial amount of the variance in RA job satisfaction. Recommendations for research and practice are shared.
