Summary:
This study investigated the relationship between job satisfaction, as measured by the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and values, as measured by the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values Scale. The sample included 126 teachers (grades kindergarten through twelve) currently teaching in public, private religious and private non-religious schools in South Florida. The results of this study did not support the theory that values were related to job satisfaction. There were also no significant correlations between age, sex, and salary and job satisfaction at the .05 level of significance. It was found that among the teachers in this sample, private religious teachers had the highest level of job satisfaction as measured by the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. A further finding indicated that teachers ranked aesthetic values higher than the other five values measured by the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values Scale. However, aesthetic value was not necessarily related to job satisfaction. It was found that teachers in private religious schools had the highest degree of job satisfaction as measured by the experimental instrument.
