This book was released on 2007 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the overall job satisfaction level and motivators of job satisfaction for elementary school principals in Central Virginia using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (1977) revision via Web-based survey through Virginia Commonwealth University's Inquisite Survey System. The research literature supports job satisfaction of school principals being a worthwhile topic of study. Researching aspects of job satisfaction is important because a job is not merely life-sustaining, but enriching and enhancing (Darboe, 2003), and the impact of leadership on everyone in schools is substantive. Elementary principals' general job satisfaction level was investigated using descriptive demographic data and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) through Web-based survey. Using 4 of Frederick Herzbergfs (1959) 6 motivators from the MSQ (i.e., Achievement, Advancement, Recognition, and Responsibility), job satisfaction level was examined in terms of variance in relation to the respondents' gender, age, level of education, salary level, years of experience, number of full-time assistant principals, school socioeconomic status, school size, or accreditation status assigned by the Virginia Department of Education. This study collected information from 85 out of a possible 151 public elementary school principals across 14 school divisions in Region I of Central Virginia. The findings of this study suggest that on an overall basis respondents were satisfied with their jobs. They were also satisfied with their job as it relates to Herzberg's four motivators associated with those particular scales of the MSQ. Findings demonstrated that job satisfaction level did not significantly vary in relation to the nine demographic variables except in one category, level of education. Respondents with education beyond master's degrees were more satisfied with their sense of achievement. The response rate for this Web-based survey was 56%. This response rate contrasts with most literature that described Web-based surveys as having lower response rates than mailed surveys (Fricker & Schonlau, 2002). This indicates that principals will answer Internet surveys in higher numbers when asked to do so, when using repeated contacts, and/or when a colleague requests their participation. It would be worthwhile to replicate this study using a wider demographic area or through the use of qualitative methodology.

Book Elementary Administrators Perceptions of Job Satisfaction and Its Impact on Retention

Download or read book Elementary Administrators Perceptions of Job Satisfaction and Its Impact on Retention written by James M. Hollinger and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study explored the perceived rewards and barriers and the balance of these perceptions that contribute to job satisfaction among public elementary school principals and assistant principals. The study took place in 17 school districts in the South-Central region of Pennsylvania. The participants were elementary school principals and assistant principals currently serving in schools with students in grades kindergarten through sixth. The instruments used in this study were the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire consisting of 20 Likert-type statement responses, three open-response questions, and individual interviews. Thirty-two administrators participated in the questionnaire and six administrators participated in the interviews. The results of this study suggest that the elementary school administrators in this region are generally satisfied with their jobs. The administrators reported the rewarding aspect of their job that was most important was the opportunity to help children learn and find success. The administrators also reported that a lack of support from supervisors and frustration due to staff issues were the two most important barriers to their job satisfaction. Participants reported that they achieved balance with the rewards and barriers by focusing on the rewards, such as working with children, rather than focusing on the barriers. Some administrators expressed that finding a balance was challenging.
