Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the job satisfaction levels of physical education and sport teachers according to various variables.
Methodology: In this study, which employs a quantitative research method, the survey model was adopted. The population of the study comprises physical education and sports teachers, while the sample consists of physical education and sports teachers working in schools affiliated with the Kütahya Provincial Directorate of National Education. The sample group, which was determined by probabilistic simple random sampling method, consists of a total of 472 participants, 244 women and 228 men. ‘Job Satisfaction Scale’ was used to determine the job satisfaction levels of the participants. Independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA) were utilized to analyze the collected data. Considering the homogeneity assumption of the data, Welch values were evaluated, and the Tukey test, a type of Post Hoc test, was employed as a secondary-level analysis method.
Results: Job satisfaction levels of physical education and sport teachers differ according to gender, marital status, staff status and working time variables.
Conclusions: It was observed that female teachers, married teachers and permanent teachers had higher levels of job satisfaction, and new teachers had higher levels of motivation. On the other hand, contracted teachers and teachers working for a long time were found to have low job satisfaction. In order to increase teachers' job satisfaction, supportive policies specific to gender, marital status and working status should be developed.
