| | Job Satisfaction Among America's Teachers: Effects of Workplace Conditions, Background Characteristics, and Teacher ... |
 | | Administrative support and leadership, student behavior and school atmosphere, and teacher autonomy are working conditions associated with teacher satisfaction; the more favorable the working conditions were, the higher the satisfaction scores were. |
 | | Although certain background variables, such as teacher's age and years of experience, are related to teacher satisfaction, they are not nearly as significant in explaining the different levels of satisfaction as are the workplace condition factors, such as administrative support, parental involvement, and teacher control over classroom procedures. |
 | | Workplace conditions had a positive relationship with a teacher's job satisfaction regardless of whether a teacher is in a public or private school, or an elementary or secondary school, and regardless of the teacher's background characteristics or the school demographics. |
