The Predictive Effect of Technology Follow-up and Professional Competence on Job Satisfaction of Physical Education Teachers

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the predictive effect of technology follow-up and professional competence on the job satisfaction levels of physical education teachers. A correlational survey was used in the study. The study sample consists of 217 physical education teachers. Participants in the study were determined by the convenience sampling method. To collect data, the "Personal Information Form," "Teachers Self-Efficacy Scale," and "Job Satisfaction Scale" were used in the study. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were used for analysis. According to the results, a significant positive relationship was found between the frequency of technology follow-up and job satisfaction (r = .230, β = .25, p<0.05). Included in the model in the third step, the contribution of professional competence to job satisfaction is significant and explains 16.5% of job satisfaction. As a result, it was revealed that teachers perceive themselves as more professionally competent when they closely follow technological developments related to their fields, and as a result, they have a higher level of job satisfaction. For future studies, it may be suggested that similar studies in this field should be conducted on an intercultural basis.
