Those variables that generally attract teachers to
the profession are not
always the same as those that retain them and keep
them satisfied with
their career path. Therefore, the discovery of the
teachers perceptions
regarding the factors which have impact on their job
satisfaction may
prove to be a very useful type of study. The
influences of gender, age,
years of teaching experience and requirements of the
profession,
including educational reform efforts, are considered
as they have the
potential to play a significant role in the teachers''
belief systems. By
providing multiple approaches for satisfaction
enhancement,
educational leaders may ultimately enable a maximum
number of
teachers to experience fulfillment within their
career, which in turn may
lead to students reaching higher achievement standards.
