Στόχος της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν να διερευνήσει τις σχέσεις της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης των δασκάλων με το κλίμα που επικρατεί στο σχολείο τους, όπως το αντιλαμβάνονται οι ίδιοι οι δάσκαλοι. Επίσης, στους στόχους της έρευνας ήταν να διερευνήσει και τις επιδράσεις που ασκούν το φύλο και η επαγγελματική εμπειρία των δασκάλων στη διαμόρφωση της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησής τους και του σχολικού κλίματος. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτέλεσαν 209 δάσκαλοι και δασκάλες. Η μέτρηση της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης έγινε με το Job Satisfaction Index. Η μέτρηση του σχολικού κλίματος έγινε με το Revised School Level Environment Questionnaire. Η επαγγελματική εμπειρία των δασκάλων μετρήθηκε με βάση τα έτη υπηρεσίας τους. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση των δασκάλων συσχετίζεται και με το κλίμα του σχολείου τους. Επίσης, από τα αποτελέσματα φάνηκε ότι το φύλο δεν αποτελεί σημαντικό παράγοντα διαφοροποίησης της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης, αλλά διαφοροποιεί σε κάποιο βαθμό ορισμένες μεταβλητές του σχολικού κλίματος. Τέλος, η επαγγελματική εμπειρία φάνηκε ότι αποτελεί σημαντικό παράγοντα διαφοροποίησης της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης των δασκάλων αλλά και των περισσοτέρων μεταβλητών του σχολικού κλίματος.

Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν να μελετήσει τη σχέση μεταξύ σχολικού κλίματος και επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης των εκπαιδευτικών πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης. Παράλληλα, να διερευνήσει την επίδραση που ασκούν τα δημογραφικά - επαγγελματικά χαρακτηριστικά των συμμετεχόντων (φύλο, ηλικία, σχέση εργασίας, έτη υπηρεσίας, ειδικότητα, μορφωτικό επίπεδο) στη σχέση αυτή. Το δείγμα αποτέλεσαν 161 εκπαιδευτικοί πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης, που υπηρετούσαν σε δημοτικά σχολεία της περιφερειακής ενότητας Αχαΐας. Η συλλογή των δεδομένων έγινε με τη βοήθεια ενός ηλεκτρονικού ερωτηματολογίου. Ειδικότερα, για να μετρήσουμε την επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση χρησιμοποιήσαμε το Job Satisfaction Index, ενώ για το σχολικό κλίμα το Revised School Level Environment Questionnaire. Στα ευρήματά μας διαφαίνεται ότι υπάρχει θετική και στατιστικά σημαντική συσχέτιση μεταξύ όλων των μεταβλητών του σχολικού κλίματος με την επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση, με ισχυρότερες αυτές που αφορούν τη συνεργασία μαθητών - εκπαιδευτικών, καθώς και των εκπαιδευτικών μεταξύ τους. Επίσης, ο βαθμός επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης των εκπαιδευτικών είναι υψηλός, ενώ το κλίμα των σχολείων που υπηρετούν χαρακτηρίζεται ως ανοιχτό - θετικό. Το φύλο και το μορφωτικό επίπεδο δε διαφοροποιούν καμία από τις μελετώμενες μεταβλητές. Αντίθετα, η ειδικότητα αποτελεί σημαντικό παράγοντα διαφοροποίησης της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης των εκπαιδευτικών, ενώ η ηλικία, η σχέση εργασίας, τα έτη προϋπηρεσίας και η ειδικότητα επιδρούν σχεδόν σε όλες τις μεταβλητές του σχολικού κλίματος.

Although burnout has been described as a serious hazard for personal and professional lives and has been surveyed among dentists in many countries, no study has been published regarding burnout among dentists in Lithuania. This study aimed to evaluate the burnout level among Lithuanian dentists and its association with demographic variables, job satisfaction, and other job-related variables. The data were collected among dentists online or during professional conferences while using an anonymous questionnaire (n = 380). The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to evaluate the burnout level. A Poisson regression was applied for the analysis of relationships between variables. We observed that 42.3% of the respondents had a high emotional exhaustion (EE) (95% confidence interval (CI): 37.4–42.3%), while 18.7% (95% CI: 15.0–22.9%) and 28,2% (95% CI: 23.4–32.6%) had high depersonalization (DP) and low personal accomplishment (PA), respectively. Nonetheless, 15.3% (95% CI: 11.8–18.9%) of the study population experienced a high level of overall burnout. An original job satisfaction index was elaborated. It was significantly associated with sum scores of all burnout dimensions: with the EE sum score (Ratio of Sum Score Means (RSSM) 1.54; 95% CI: 1.46–1.62), DP sum score (RSSM 1.59; 95% CI: 1.45–1.74), and PA sum score (RSSM 0.88; 95% CI: 0.84–0.92). It was concluded that Lithuanian dentists can be characterised by high burnout intensity and high prevalence of burnout, being especially evident in emotional exhaustion. The dentist with low job satisfaction appeared to be the most vulnerable to all burnout dimensions.

Using Data

This study applied multilevel modeling to examine how individual characteristics, such as gender and teaching experience, and contextual characteristics, such as principal leadership and perceived colleague support, influenced Korean secondary school teachers’ sense of job satisfaction. Previous research identified teachers with high job satisfaction to have positive influences on their students, making it important to understand teacher job satisfaction not only for teachers but also for students. Using data from a nationally representative sample of 2908 teachers from 150 middle schools, the results indicated that (1) among teachers’ individual characteristics, teacher efficacy had significant effects on teacher job satisfaction, and (2) among institutional, school-level characteristics, perceptions of academic climate, support from colleagues, and supportive principal leadership had significant impacts on teacher job satisfaction. The findings of this study provide reason for individual teachers to reflect on their sense of efficacy and the influence it can have on their professional practice. The study also suggests ways to create better education policies on the basis of its empirical data.

Purpose – Although school autonomy has been a matter of great interest during the last decades and several relevant measures have been implemented toward this end, the relation between school autonomy and school effectiveness has not been examined thoroughly. The purpose of this paper is to explore this relation and to propose an effective school autonomy model for Cyprus, a small European country with a highly centralized educational system. The suggested model indicates which decisions (related to various administrative, financial, academic, pedagogical and human resources matters) must be made at school level, which decisions can be made partly from the school with a higher level of control from the ministry and which decisions have to be made exclusively by a central authority, in order to enhance school effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach – An unusual methodological design is followed, using scenarios to examine hypothetical situations. Cypriot headteachers’ job satisfaction and work-related stress is examined in the case of full autonomy and in the opposite scenario of very limited autonomy. The results from this phase of the study lead to the design of the suggested school autonomy model, which is then tested in terms of effectiveness through a third scenario. The scenarios are given in questionnaires and the sample includes 300 out of a population of 350 primary school headteachers of Cyprus. Findings – The findings of the study suggest that headteachers’ job satisfaction and work-related stress is affected by the level of school autonomy that characterizes an educational system. The most effective scenario for the case of Cyprus does not refer to the existing situation of very limited autonomy, neither to the opposite scenario of full autonomy. The most effective scenario refers to the suggested model of school autonomy where all decisions related to various academic, managerial, financial and human resource matters are taken at school level, except for the decisions related to teaching materials and textbooks, teacher placements, promotions, payroll and dismissals. For these decisions the guidance, support and/or control from the educational authorities have to be enhanced. Research limitations/implications – In this study school effectiveness is examined through the headteachers’ job satisfaction and stress as the dependent variable, and not through the conventional student achievement variable. A part of the existing literature suggests that these variables affect school effectiveness in an indirect way. Taking into consideration student achievement was not possible for the case of Cyprus, since the only scenario currently existing refers to very limited or no school autonomy. Therefore, it is not possible to compare the academic results of students coming from schools with different levels of autonomy. Practical implications – The methodological approach of the study can be followed in other contexts as well, in order to design an effective school autonomy model for a different educational system, district or school. Scenarios can also be used to test and make corrections for a suggested educational reform, before this is implemented, in order to avoid waste of time and/or financial resources. Originality/value – The value of this study first lies in its attempt to design a school autonomy model, based on all the educational decisions and matters that can be affected from a school autonomy reform; this became possible through an extensive literature review. Second the study, does not only support some suggestions based on the results, but also tests the effectiveness of the suggestions before these are implemented, following the unusual methodological approach of scenarios. Moreover, the relation between school autonomy and school effectiveness has not been examined thoroughly in the existing literature and some conflicting opinions exist. The findings of the study can help us gain a better understanding of the above relation.
