Teacher Autonomy as a Predictor of Job Satisfaction

Abstract

This study aims to examine the association between teacher autonomy and job satisfaction. To this end, the study employed a relational survey model. The sample of the study included 368 teachers working in different schools of Batman city (Turkey) in the spring term of the 2020-2021 academic year. Teachers representing the population of the research were selected through a random sampling method. Research data were amassed with the “Teacher Autonomy Scale” and “Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale”. The mean scores were calculated and Pearson correlation and simple regression analyses were conducted. Based on the findings of the research, teachers' opinions towards autonomy behaviours and job satisfaction are greater than the middle level. The results also show a positive and significant relationship between teachers' autonomy and job satisfaction. Besides, teachers’ autonomy behaviours are meaningful predictors of their job satisfaction.
