520 |a Data on the white Protestant ministers in a national sample of American clergy were analyzed for the interrelations among the demographic characteristics of the minister's congregation, job satisfaction, and serious consideration of career change on the part of these ministers. Career change was defined as either changing positions or congregation within the ministry, or leaving the ministry altogether. Multiple Classification Analysis was used; and the metropolitan, urban, and rural distinctions were used for location of the minister's congregation. In general, clergy serving small congregations were more likely to consider career changes than those serving larger ones. Ministers assuming the traditional clergy role tended to be unlikely to consider changes, while those who were more oriented toward the community problem solving clergy role were more likely to be considering a change. Dissatisfaction over the congregation's appreciation of the minister's work was linked with considering changing congregations, while dissatisfaction with remuneration was associated with considering leaving the ministry. Among the three locational groups, ministers serving the smaller rural congregations seemed more satisfied with their ministries and those serving the larger urban churches were less satisfied than their counterparts in other locations serving congregations of similar size.
