Relationship between teacher empowerment and job satisfaction: A Meta-Analytic path analysis

Abstract

This research aims to analyze studies that have investigated the effects of teacher empowerment on job satisfaction. From the results obtained from the meta-analytic structural equation modeling of 11 studies (N = 19,462), it has been found that the teacher empowerment model and job satisfaction are meaningfully correlated. The findings have also revealed that decision-making and self-efficacy among teachers had a significant impact on job satisfaction, followed by professional growth. Conversely, autonomy, impact, and status among teachers were negatively linked to job satisfaction. The findings confirm the significant effects of teacher empowerment on job satisfaction.
