Friday, October 25, 2024
12:30 PM – 1:00 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 4A
This study examines how informational justice affects child welfare caseworkers' intention to stay. Using Comprehensive Organizational Health Assessment survey data, it finds that informational justice influences workers' intent to stay directly as well as indirectly through increasing job autonomy. Results emphasize the importance of informational justice for retaining workers.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand how informational justice in child welfare agencies affects child welfare caseworkers' intention to stay.
  2. Understand the mediating role of job autonomy in the association between informational justice and caseworkers' intention to stay.
  3. Have opportunities to consider how to enhance informational justice and job autonomy in child welfare agencies to support the retention of child welfare workers.
