Job satisfaction and job stress have been shown to be consistently related in a range of school education studies. The purpose of this research was to investigate how well the job satisfaction of resource room teachers in Taiwan may be predicted through an understanding of their job stress and demographic characteristics.
A total of 153 elementary resource room teachers in Taoyuan were questioned using a self-report questionnaire. Following the questionnaire, 10 veteran resource room teachers were asked to provide further insight into their work.
For the 135 participants, both the working condition dimension of job stress and education level were significant predictors of job satisfaction. The results are discussed in terms of the Taiwan context.
Along with initiatives to improve the professional qualifications of teachers, some changes may assist in improving the job satisfaction of resource room teachers and extending their careers in Taiwan.
在一系列学校教育研究中，工作满意度和工作压力一直被证明存在关联。本研究的目的是通过了解台湾资源教室教师的工作压力和人口统计学特征，来探究其工作满意度的预测程度。
采用自填式问卷对桃园市153名小学资源教室教师进行了调查。问卷之后，还邀请了10名资深资源教室教师对其工作进行了深入探讨。
对于135名参与者，工作压力的工作条件维度和教育水平都是工作满意度的重要预测因素。结合台湾的背景对结果进行了讨论。
除了提高教师专业资格的举措外，一些变革可能有助于提高台湾资源教室教师的工作满意度并延长其职业生涯。
