anabysis for satisfaction

17
haly Childhod Research Quarterly, 1, 167-183 (1986) Teacher job Satisfaction: A Framework for AnaBysis The topic of job satisfaction is one thae has always had personal and orga- nizational relevance to educators. But recent reports of increased occupa- tional stress and burnout in early childhood education indicate that the issue merits increased attention. This article first provides a brief overview of some of the diverse approaches that have evolved to define and measure work attitudes. It then presents a conceptual framework for understanding how the many facets of job satisfaction interrelate. The model builds on a social-ecological perspective of human behavior and stresses the dynamic, interactive nature of person-environment variables. Job satisfaction is one of the most widely researched topics in psychoPogy. Over 4,000 articles have been written on the subject. This popularity is not difficult to understand: The topic has strong appeal because it has immediate relevance to our own lives. Because we spend so much of our time in work environments, understanding the factors involved in achieving fulfillment can certainly affect our personal well-being. But the bulk of the research on the issue has focused on the quality of work life as it relates to the world of business and industry. Only moderate attention has been paid to the topic as it relates to teacher education, and the unique concerns of early childhood educators at the preschool level remain largely unexplored. It is possible, however, to draw from the vast literature in the fields of behavioral psy- chology and organizational management to develop a framework for anal- yzing job satisfaction as it specifically relates to early childhood education. The concept of job satisfaction is particularly intriguing because, by defi- nition, it is an end in itself-a positive outcome thae is highly valued. But the study of job satisfaction also takes on special significance when viewed from an organizational standpoint. Even though a direct causal link be- tween teachers' feelings of satisfaction and their productivity on the job has yet to be firmly established, many school administrators feel that job satis- faction (and particularly job dissatisfication) can have a strong impact on organizational effectiveness. Correspondence and requests for reprints should be addressed to Paula Sorde-Bloom, ECE, National College of Education, 2480 Sheridan Rd., Evanslon, IL 60201. 167
