| Popis: | 100 The purpose of this study is to investigate the current situation of elementary school teachers’ job satisfaction after the official merger of Tainan County and City by exploring the differences between personal variables and school environmental variables of the subjects. The survey method was applied in this study. The population of this study comprised in-service teachers of public elementary schools in Tainan. The samplings included 43 elementary schools. 361 questionnaires were distributed. Among them, 291 questionnaires were valid. The elementary school teachers’ job satisfaction scale written by Yi-Min Yang was adapted as study instrument. The collected data was computed by SPSS 20.0 for Windows and AMOS 20.0 and statistically analyzed by mean, standard deviation, T-test and one-way ANOVA. The probability of significance level was set at .05. According to the outcomes of the analysis, the results of this research were as follows: 1. Elementary school teachers’ job satisfaction after the official merger of Tainan county and city is nearly the same. In teachers’ job satisfaction, “supervision of administration” scores the highest, “rewards and resources” the second highest, “interpersonal relation” the third highest, and “job value” the lowest. 2. There is no significant difference in marriage, years of experience as a teacher, highest education degree, current position and original teaching area on elementary school teachers’ job satisfaction, but there is a significant difference in gender and size of school. Based on the findings, several suggestions are made as follows: 1. Some suggestions for educational administration are made as follows: A. Strengthen the leadership consciousness of principals and administrators to promote education quality. B. Balance the gap between urban and rural areas by well equipping all schools. C. Secure the benefit of teachers’ job and stabilize teachers' life. 2. Some suggestions for school administrators: A. Enhance teachers' opportunities for professional development by constructing knowledge-sharing platform. B. Promote school teachers’ communication by smoothening communication channels. C. Establish executive affairs rotation system to improve school performance. 3. Suggestions for elementary school teachers include the following aspects: A. Professional self-determination and innovative teaching. B. Participation in school affairs and experiences sharing. C. Supply leisure activities, relaxation of body and mind. 4. Suggestions for future studies are as follows: A. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods are suggested to be adopted. B. Participants are suggested to include principals and other staffs. C. Four-point Likert scale are suggested to be implemented on questionnaire development. D. When educational resources of Tainan City are well developed, more related researches are suggested to be conducted in the future. |
