Good bosses are always important but they’re critical for carers who look after people with intellectual disabilities. That’s the finding of research into support workers, conducted by Hanlie Botha, who has completed her Masters of Organisational Psychology at the University of Waikato. Miss Botha, who now works as a human resources consultant for Te Wananga o Aotearoa in Te Awamutu, researched the relationships between support for workers looking after people with intellectual disabilities and work/ family conflict those workers face. Miss Botha studied carers who look after intellectually disabled people in the client’s home to see how much job satisfaction they had and what support the employee’s organisation gave them. She looked specifically at staff who worked on their own, outside of hospital and office environments where there tends to be more support available for staff. Miss Botha, 28, was prompted to do the research when she came to New Zealand from South Africa and worked as a carer. She said she found it difficult to be in an environment with no colleagues or a boss to turn to for advice and support, and she ended up leaving her job. ‘‘I felt lucky looking after a client who could verbalise their needs and give some direction to me. However, this made me think what it would be like working with clients who are not able to verbalise their needs in this case working with intellectual disabilities.’’ The Hamilton woman separated her subsequent research into two areas. The first is how much support bosses and colleagues give the worker, how this impacts on their job satisfaction and how committed they are to the organisation. The second area was looking at work-family conflict for staff, and whether a lack of support from supervisors contributes to that conflict. Miss Botha said the employee’s level of skills had no bearing on work-family conflict. ‘‘It is not about the skill of any employee that determines their work-family or family-work balance. It is the time TC230508GJ01 spent worrying and the time spent at work, and how the HANLIE BOTHA at her own workplace - Te Wananga o Aotearoa’s Te Awamutu campus, where employer flexibility and stress and strain flows on into their home lives.’’ strong support assists carers.
