Job Satisfaction among America's Teachers: Effects of Workplace Conditions, Background Characteristics, and Teacher Compensation. Statistical Analysis Report.

Perie, M., & Baker, D. P. (1997). Job Satisfaction among America's Teachers: Effects of Workplace Conditions, Background Characteristics, and Teacher Compensation. Statistical Analysis Report.

Annotation: America’s teachers have different idea of job satisfaction. The elements that go into this feeling are workplace characteristics, teacher background (personal & professional), and salary. Teachers also have perceptions of what the workplace norms, characteristics, and culture should look like. If this doesn’t necessarily match among faculty members, problems can arise and satisfaction in an educational setting can diminish.
