The Effects of Needs, Organizational Factors and Teachers' Characteristics on Job Satisfaction in Kindergarten Teachers.

Avi-Itzhak, Tamara E.

Journal of Educational Administration, v26 n2 p353-63 Nov 1988

Using a sample of 93 female Israeli kindergarten teachers, this study identifies perceived professional needs, teacher characteristics, and organizational factors that significantly discriminate between "satisfied" and "dissatisfied" teachers. Teachers are most satisfied on two "lower" needs (security and social relationships) and less satisfied on esteem, autonomy, and self-actualization. Includes 40 references. (MLH)
