ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to determine what aspects of teachers work improve job satisfaction and how these aspects affect teachers’ perception of their own mental health. A sample composed of 205 teachers was obtained. The two mental health subscales of the SWS-Survey and a Job Satisfaction Scale were used. Descriptive statistic analyses show high general job satisfaction. Also, we found high satisfaction with job supervisor, workmates, and the nature of the work. Income satisfaction was reported as low. A multiple regression analysis revealed most important factors related with mental health were the relationships with workmates and the own nature of the job. Another multiple regression analysis also revealed that the most important factor related with poor mental health was the own nature of the job.
