The Relationship among Self-Compassion, Compassion Fatigue and Job Satisfaction in Counseling Psychologists

104 counseling psychologists took part in the current study in order to test the correlation among self-compassion, compassion fatigue and job satisfaction.The results showed that the psychologists who scored higher on self-compassion, had higher scores on job satisfaction and lower scores on compassion fatigue.The psychologists who scored higher on compassion fatigue, they experienced less satisfaction from their job.Self-compassion had not a significant role in the relationship between compassion fatigue and job satisfaction.Further research should be done to test the contribution of self-compassion on intrinsic motives.
