Buckman  \nKennesaw State University  \nThis study aimed to contribute to the empirical literature concerning the factors that contribute to the job satisfaction levels of public and private school teachers. Furthermore, an emphasis was placed on how governmental accountability, school procedures, and workplace characteristics affected levels of job satisfaction. This study focused on other contributing factors of job satisfaction: personal attributes, human capital, occupational characteristics, and school characteristics. Inferential statistics concluded that there was a statistically significant difference between public and private school teachers'job satisfaction levels. Specifically, private schoolteachers had higher levels of job satisfaction than public school teachers.  \nICPEL Education Leadership Review, Vol. 22, No. 1– December, 2021 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2021 International Council of Professors of Educational Leadership  \nEducation stakeholders (e.g., students, parents, administrators) are dependent on teachers to provide quality instruction and produce student learning (Borman & Dowling, 2008; Guarino et al., 2006) . However, teachers are changing jobs each year or moving to a different school at an alarming rate (Carver-Thomas & Darling-Hammond, 2019) . For instance, in 2011-2012, the U.S. Department of Education reported that approximately 270,000 public school teachers turned over via school change or chose a different career (Goldring et al., 2014) . More pointedly, Georgia reported a teacher attrition rate of roughly 10%(Aleshina, 2019) and indicated that 44% of public school teachers left the teaching profession within the first five years of teaching (Owens & GADOE, 2015) .  \nThe Georgia Department of Education specified that public school teachers identified mandated high stakes assessment as a significant contributor to their decision to leave the profession (Owens & GADOE, 2015) . Public school teachers also indicated their propensity to leave the profession corresponded with the public education evaluation system being too reliant on test scores and not subject to other job factors. In addition to the accountability measures such as testing, Georgia public school teachers who left the profession also noted their negative perceptions ofthe profession were due to a lack of teacher input in educational policy (Owens & GADOE, 2015) . From the public school teacher turnover data above and the attributed causes of teacher turnover, maintaining a high-quality teaching workforce is not an easy task for education agencies as long as public school teachers are at the mercy of political influences that control curriculum and assessment (Jennings & Rentner, 2006; Murnane & Papay, 2010) .  \nAlthough national reports heavily document public school teacher attrition, very few studies have analyzed the attrition rates of educational agencies that do not receive heavy state and national educational oversight and accountability, such as private schools. Data provided by the National Center of Educational Statistics (NCES) identified in their 2008-2009 data that private school teachers reported a teacher attrition rate of 15.9% . In the same data set, the public schoolteacher attrition rate was 8%, indicating a considerable difference in the rate at which teachers of public and private schools turned over. In short, teachers at private schools turned over more than teachers in public schools. Schmitz (2017) highlighted that early-career teachers in private schools had seen dramatic increases in turnover, while early-career teachers in public schools had shown to be more likely to stay. The report also illustrated how private school turnover rates had increased faster than public school rates in each age group except those with 20 or more years of experience despite the implementation of feder","cbCaig87vuNt0bwT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig87vuNt0bwT","pdf",285977,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Research focus and contributing factors\n# Teacher turnover and accountability pressures\n## Mandated assessments and evaluation reliance\n## Attrition rate comparisons (public vs private)\n# Leadership, principal behaviors, and stressors\n## Impact of administrator accountability on teachers\n# Comparative perception of job satisfaction factors\n## Public vs private teacher differences","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s primary aim regarding teacher job satisfaction?\",\"answer\":\"To identify factors influencing job satisfaction levels of teachers in public and private schools, including how accountability, school procedures, and workplace characteristics affect those levels.\"},{\"question\":\"How did public and private school teachers differ in job satisfaction?\",\"answer\":\"Inferential statistics found a statistically significant difference: private school teachers reported higher job satisfaction than public school teachers.\"},{\"question\":\"Which accountability-related issues are linked to teacher decisions to leave in public schools?\",\"answer\":\"Mandated high-stakes assessment, overreliance on test scores in evaluation systems, and a lack of teacher input in educational policy are cited as contributors to leaving the profession.\"}]","Public and Private Schools - A Study of Teacher Job Satisfaction | PDF",1792093954,45]
