- Abstract:
- The study examined the relationship between work-related stressors (role ambiguity and role conflict) and teachers' job satisfaction. Occupational stress among teachers is an important variable to consider since it directly impacts retention levels and burnout rates. Data from 64 high school teachers in the Miami-Dade County area indicated that role ambiguity and role conflict were related to teachers' level of job satisfaction. Teachers experiencing higher levels of work-related stress were more likely to be dissatisfied with their current occupation than those who were experiencing less stress at work. Furthermore, years of teaching experience also predicted job satisfaction. Experienced teachers were found to be less satisfied in their jobs than less experienced teachers. Suggestions regarding school-wide interventions such as professional development workshops and seminars to increase teacher's job satisfaction are addressed.
