Abstract

This study aims to investigate secondary school teachers’ job satisfaction levels with the convergent method, one of the mixed research methods. The quantitative part of the study was conducted with 330 participating teachers, and the ‘Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale’, developed by Weiss, Dawis, England and Lofquist (1967) and adapted to Turkish by Baycan (1985), was used. In the qualitative part of the study, a semi-structured interview form was used consisting of 4 questions to reveal the intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction factors of the participants. In addition, the gender, branch, professional experience, and educational level variables were used in the study. As a result, the general job satisfaction and intrinsic job satisfaction levels of the participants were “satisfied”, and their extrinsic job satisfaction levels were “uncertain”. When the qualitative data were analyzed, appreciation, success, promotion, merit, recognition, motivation, and responsibility were respectively factors affecting the participants’ intrinsic job satisfaction, payment, management, working conditions, justice and living standards were respectively factors affecting the participants’ extrinsic job satisfaction.

中学教师工作满意度的混合研究方法

本研究旨在运用混合研究方法之一的收敛方法，对中学教师的工作满意度进行调查。研究的定量部分由330名参与的教师进行，使用了由Weiss, Dawis, England和Lofquist(1967)开发并由Baycan(1985)改编为土耳其语的“明尼苏达工作满意度量表”。在研究的定性部分，采用半结构化的访谈形式，包括4个问题，以揭示参与者的内在和外在的工作满意度因素。此外，研究还采用了性别、部门、专业经验、教育程度等变量。结果显示，被试的总体工作满意度和内在工作满意度水平为“满意”，外在工作满意度水平为“不确定”。定性数据分析发现，赞赏、成功、晋升、绩效、认可、动机和责任分别是影响参与者内在工作满意度的因素，薪酬、管理、工作条件、公正和生活水平分别是影响参与者外在工作满意度的因素。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
