This study investigated job satisfaction and career development among
preschool child class teachers in Taitung County as well as the differences in job
satisfaction and career development among teachers with different background
variables. The research methodology was based on questionnaire survey and
interview. The research tools were three questionnaires developed by the
researchers. The research subjects were 252 preschool child class teachers in
public preschools, private preschools, public daycare centers, and private daycare
centers located in Taitung County, covering one city, two townships, and 13
villages (including two offshore islands). From these subjects, 235 valid
questionnaire responses were obtained. Nine of them were also interviewed. The
analysis methods, including descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test,
one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, multiple regression method, and canonical
correlation analysis, were adopted to process the research data. The main
conclusions were as follows:
1. In terms of overall job satisfaction, preschool child class teachers in Taitung
County had an intermediate-high level of job satisfaction. Among the seven
dimensions of job satisfaction, they were most satisfied with “interpersonal
relations” and least satisfied with “organizational participation”. If classified
by “institution type”, those teaching in private preschools, private daycare
centers, and public daycare centers were least satisfied with “salary and
benefits”.
2. In terms of overall career development, preschool child class teachers in
Taitung County had an intermediate-high level of career development.
Among the five dimensions of career development, they perceived the
highest level of development in “learning and growth” and the lowest in
III
“adaptation and exploration”. If classified by “institution type”, those
teaching in private daycare centers perceived a high level of development in
“adaptation and exploration”, which was only second to “learning and
growth”.
3. The job satisfaction among preschool child class teachers in Taitung County
varied by teacher’s age, institution type, region of the institution, status of
being a licensed teacher, professional degree in preschool education, type of
identification, and monthly salary.
4. No significant difference in job satisfaction existed among teachers with
different marital statuses, education backgrounds, service durations, statuses
of taking an administrative position, and teacher-student ratios. Further
analysis of teachers’ job satisfaction by type of identification showed that
job satisfaction among teachers in public preschools varied by status of
taking an administrative position.
5. The perceptions of career development among preschool child class teachers
in Taitung County varied by teacher’s age, marital status, service durations,
status of taking an administrative position, type of identification, and
monthly salary.
6. No significant difference in career development existed among teachers with
different education backgrounds, service institutions, service areas, statuses
of being a licensed teacher, professional degree in preschool education, and
teacher-student ratios.
7. A high level of correlation existed between job satisfaction and career
development among preschool child class teachers in Taitung County.
