Abstract

The study investigated 191 Romanian teachers, pertaining to all educational levels. Nearly a third of the participants present a low level of job satisfaction, the most satisfied being the ones who work in kindergartens. Total satisfaction is higher for the teachers who hold the first degree and in the case of beginners, except for the satisfaction generated by the ‘relationship with students’ which is higher in the case of first-degree holders. These teachers use methodical teaching styles, displaying a high level of socio-affectivity, behavior that converges with the pattern of professional development.
