Abstract

Teachers’ financial well-being and job satisfaction are quintessential as teachers are the principal players entrusted in delivering knowledge. This research intended to identify the level and relationship of teachers’ financial well-being and job satisfaction in the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE). The study sample included teachers in a district in the State of Perlis. This investigation employed a financial well-being questionnaire established by the Division of Psychology and Counseling with researchers (2018) and a job satisfaction questionnaire utilising the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) introduced by Weiss, Dewis, England & Lofquit, 1967. Financial well-being instruments had an Alpha Cronbach reliability of .89, while the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire Instrument (MSQ) had an Alpha Cronbach reliability of .90. The study outcomes confirmed that teachers obtained a high percentage of the level of the financial well-being of 49.5%, followed by a moderate level of 42.7% and a low level of 7.8%. As for job satisfaction, the data summarised that the teachers obtained a moderate percentage of 52.4%, followed by a low level of 32% and a high level of 15.5%. Ergo, the study’s data discovered a notable relationship between financial well-being and job satisfaction among teachers. The researcher recommended that the scope of the study sample be expanded so that it becomes more comprehensive to represent teachers throughout Malaysia. Moreover, the results could aid interventions in further enhancing teachers’ financial well-being and job satisfaction, such as formulating modules, psycho-education, and guidance. Furthermore, the research analysis could also be expanded by examining differences in variables based on study demographics, such as variations in teachers’ financial well-being based on service and grade tenure and differences in teachers’ job satisfaction based on work experience and age.

马来西亚教育部教师的财务状况与工作满意度

教师的经济状况和工作满意度是典型的，因为教师是传授知识的主要参与者。本研究旨在确定马来西亚教育部（MOE）教师的经济幸福感和工作满意度的水平及其关系。研究样本包括佩里斯州一个地区的教师。本调查采用了心理学和咨询部与研究人员共同制定的财务状况问卷（2018年）和Weiss、Dewis、England和Lofquit于1967年引入的明尼苏达州满意度问卷（MSQ）的工作满意度问卷。金融幸福感工具的Alpha Cronbach信度为.89，而明尼苏达州满意度问卷工具（MSQ）的Alpha Cronbach信度为0.90。研究结果证实，教师获得了49.5%的高比例经济幸福感，其次是42.7%的中等水平和7.8%的低水平。至于工作满意度，数据总结表明，教师获得52.4%的中等比例，其次是32%的低水平和15.5%的高水平，该研究的数据发现，教师的经济状况和工作满意度之间存在显著的关系。研究人员建议扩大研究样本的范围，以便更全面地代表马来西亚各地的教师。此外，研究结果可以帮助干预措施进一步提高教师的经济福祉和工作满意度，例如制定模块、心理教育和指导。此外，还可以通过检查基于研究人口统计的变量差异来扩大研究分析，例如基于服务和年级任期的教师经济幸福感的差异，以及基于工作经验和年龄的教师工作满意度的差异。
