I have several articles on my desk that may be of use to you -- I've not
looked at them carefully as we ended up not pursuing the job satisfaction
angle, but in case they are helpful, here goes:

Koeske, Gary; Kirk, Stuart; & Koeski, Randi.  (1993)  Coping with job
stress: which strategies work best? Journal of Occupational and
Organizational Psychology, 66, 319-335.

It looks like Koeske & Koeske are testing their own instrument for job
stress.  They also refer to the Maslach-jackson burnout inventory.  Some
others by the same authors:

Kirk, Koeske & Koeske.  (1993).  Changes in health and job attitudes of case
managers providing intensive services.  Hospital and Community Psychiatry,
44:2, 168-173.

Koeske, irk, Koeske & Rauktis.  (1994).  Measuring the monday blues:
validation of a job satisfaction scale for the human services.  social Work
Research, 18:1, 27-35.

Koeske & Kirk.  (1995).  The effect of characteristics of human service
workers on subsequent morale and turnover.  Administration in social Work,
19:1, 15-31.

Others that may be of interest:

The organizational commitment questionnaire (OCQ)available in:
Mowday, richard, Porter, Lyman, and Steers, Richard. (1982).
Employee-Organizational linkages: The psychology of commitment, absenteeism
and turnover.  Academic Press.

There is another book that has several job satisfaction scales by Paul
Spector, including his "Job Satisfaction Survey" which is free to use.

Hope this helps.

I wonder if anyone can point me to some decent measures of 
worker/supervisor stress, perceived competence, burnout that they have used 
that might be helpful in evaluating some training we are doing here at the 
University of Michigan.
