“…Teachers' professional satisfaction may be a significant concept in the quality of instruction. Previous studies revealed that teachers with high-level professional satisfaction have higher motivation levels (Ololube, 2006), better performances (Chamundeswari, 2013), and a sense of belonging to the profession (Skaalvik & Skaalvik, 2010) compared to teachers with low levels of professional satisfaction. In addition, teachers with high professional satisfaction are more successful in solving classroom problems, time management, and contributing to the personal development of students (Kıran & Sungur, 2018).…”

School climate, teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction are important concepts that effect both teachers’ professional development and quality of education. This study aimed to determine teachers' school climate perceptions, own self-efficacy beliefs and professional satisfaction levels, and to examine the relationship of these concepts. It was designed in a correlational survey model. The sample of the study consisted of 397 teachers working in kindergartens, primary, secondary and high schools in a province center in the Central Black Sea region of Turkey, in 2020-2021 academic year. A Personal Information Form, Comprehensive Assessment of School Environment, Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale and Job Satisfaction Questionnaire were used in data collection procedure. In the data analysis both descriptive and procedural statistics were performed. Results revealed that: teachers' school climate perceptions were in a medium level, female teachers' school climate perceptions found to be statistically higher than males’. Training level was a significant predictor of school climate, teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Occupational experience and educational level variables were not significant. A medium, positive and significant relationship found to be between teachers’ school climate perceptions, job satisfaction and teacher self-efficacy. While school climate predicts the variance of teacher self-efficacy belief by 12%, teachers’ job satisfaction by 35%. To the respect of these findings, we recommended that schools should take precautions to increase the organizational climate, and the physical environment of schools should be improved. For further studies, diversifying study groups with students, teachers and administrators and performing similar studies in other cities were recommended.

“…Job satisfaction has been defined as people's internal feelings about, emotional states associated with, and attitudes toward their jobs (Armstrong & Taylor, 2014;Chamundeswari, 2013;Jakada, 2019;Kuwaiti et al, 2020). When an individual has a job that they enjoy doing and derives a sense of achievement from accomplishing tasks in their workplace, they are said to have high job satisfaction (Saba, 2011;Umaru & Ombugus, 2017).…”

“…Given the challenges posed by the aforementioned trends, the university governing bodies of several countries have introduced accountability and evaluation systems to manage and improve the academic performance of universities. In an increasingly demanding academic environment, professors must meet increasing stringent accountability requirements related to instruction, research, and service duties (Chamundeswari, 2013;Shin & Jung, 2014). Professors' job satisfaction may influence their ability to cultivate talent and is vital to their efforts to accomplish the tasks required of educators (Hee et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to explore professors’ job satisfaction and the factors that influence their satisfaction. Professors whose main duties were instruction, research, service, and advising (i.e., four types of responsibilities) were invited to participate in the study; the participants of the study ( n = 117) completed a questionnaire survey, and interviews ( n = 50) were also conducted to investigate their job perceptions. The study proposed a model that includes a second-order hierarchy of professors’ job satisfaction comprising four duties (i.e., instruction, research, service, and advising) and factors that influence job satisfaction. The results revealed that the participating professors tended to be moderately satisfied with their jobs and that the job satisfaction of full professors was greater than that of assistant professors. The order of four key duties that influenced professors’ overall job satisfaction were service, instruction, advising, and research. Furthermore, consistent with motivator-hygiene theory, the “university work environment” and the “nature of academic job” were the two factors that significantly influenced the job satisfaction of the participants. Of these two factors, the “university work environment” had a greater influence in predicting the participants’ job satisfaction, especially for higher-ranked professors. The study findings suggest that universities can increase the job satisfaction of professors by enhancing their professional development activities; improving their work environment, equipment, and support; providing more regulatory flexibility; and implementing teacher grievance mechanisms and reward systems that meet the needs of professors.

“…They are igniting the inherent talents of the children by their manipulative skills. According to Panda and Mohanty (2003), the teacher is the pivot of any education system and they always play a vital role in molding a student towards education (Chamundeswari, 2013). In fact, teachers are the strength of a nation, since they are the key actors of instructional process and students' cognitive, social and emotional development.…”

“…It is evident that job satisfaction is related to job performance, i.e. teachers, who are satisfied with their job they are more motivated to their job and teach more effectively and efficiently than teachers, who are not satisfied with their teaching profession (Shah, 1995;Indhumathi, 2011;Chamundeswari, 2013;Kumar, 2014). Motivated and satisfied teachers have positive impacts on students' academic performance and as well as school performance.…”
