Abstract:

 


This study aims to explore the relationship between
job satisfaction and organizational commitment of the trainee teachers. Teacher
job satisfaction and organizational commitment play a significant role in the
furtherance of teaching and learning perfectly. Generally, satisfied and
committed teachers are more likely to motivate students to learn in the
classroom settings. The participants of the research consist of 170 trainee
teachers in the province of Bitlis, and its districts (Adilcevaz, Ahlat and
Tatvan) in the 2015-2016 academic year. In this study, Minnesota Job
Satisfaction Scale and Organizational Commitment Scales were used as data
collection tools. The analyses of the data revealed that there was a negative
relationship between job satisfaction of the teachers and continuance
commitment. The analysis also showed a significant and positive relationship
between job satisfaction and normative commitment. However, there was no
significant relationship between job satisfaction of teachers and affective
commitment sub-dimension of organizational commitment. While the levels of the
sub-dimensions of organizational commitment are analyzed, it can be seen that
normative and continuance commitment sub-dimensions of organizational
commitment affect job satisfaction significantly, but affective commitment
sub-dimension has no significant impact on job satisfaction.
