Abstract: |
Incidence of professional destructions,
emotional disorders of educators and abandoning of profession do not cover the full list of consequences
of low job satisfaction level among teachers. Therefore, it is important to
find out which characteristics of emotional focus of a personality condition
satisfaction or dissatisfaction. The goal of the present research is to study
the dynamics and interconnection between job satisfaction and emotional focus
of comprehensive school teachers. Job satisfaction level was measured with the
help of Zakharov's method. Emotional focus was measured by means of Dodonov’s
method. 129 school teachers took part in the study. The data were analyzed with
the help of statistics package SPSS 17.0. Research results helped to discover
the non-linear dynamics of components connected with job satisfaction and
emotional focus at different levels of teachers' professional development.
Noticeable changes in job satisfaction are linked with the relations with
school administration (during the first half of the professional career),
preference of work to high level of income, conditions and organization of work
(decrease in the middle of the professional career and at later stages) and
controversial (differently directed) dynamics of professional responsibility.
We determined the interconnections of the parameters of job satisfaction and
emotional focus of teachers. Job satisfaction is connected with realization of
altruistic motives, intellectual feelings, the need of activity and tendency to
overcome certain obstacles in one's professional activity. Hedonistic focus
does not encourage job satisfaction.
