A Study of Teacher Job Satisfaction and Factors That Influence It

Abstract

Research on job satisfaction, an extremely important topic in organizational administration and social psychology, has a history of nearly sixty years, beginning with the publication of Hoppock's (1935) classic work. The study of organization administration and behavioral sciences started fairly late on the Chinese mainland. There are few studies on job satisfaction, and even fewer in the educational field. This study is an exploration into the current situation using questionnaires and interviews. We propose the following major factors affecting teacher satisfaction.
