The purpose of this study was the creation of an instrument to assess perceptions of job satisfaction for professional staff fulfilling the role of residence directors. With many costs associated with the exit of an employee (Cascio, 1987), it is hoped that the instrument may be used by the senior housing administrators to limit lateral turnover, whereby the exiting residence director is once again assuming a residence director position at a different institution. In this investigation the following research questions were asked: 1. Is the test score of the instrument reliable? 2. What are the instrument subscales? 3. What are the reliabilities of each subscale? 4. What are individual survey questions that should fall under each subscale? 5. What is the evidence of validity (construct and content) for the instrument?
