A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF JOB SATISFACTION LEVELS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOL TEACHERS

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether differences exist between job satisfaction levels of public school teachers and of teachers who transferred to private education institutions from public schools due to retirement or resignation. If the differences exist, this study will also try to find out the causes of these differences. Quantitative Survey method has been employed in this study. The findings of the study indicated that differences do exist between job satisfaction levels of public school teachers and of teachers who transferred to private education institutions from public schools due to retirement or resignation. The main factors that cause the differences were salary, social ranking, reputation, and improvement, ability to use skills, administrator-employee affairs, and creativity.
