Abstract


In view of the teacher shortage in the Netherlands and Flanders, it is not only important to increase the intake and outflow of students in teacher education programmes, but also to increase job satisfaction of in-service teachers. Satisfied teachers in school will lead to higher retention of teachers in the profession. Based on secondary analyses of TALIS 2018 data from primary and secondary school teachers in the Netherlands and Flanders, work and school conditions and their job satisfaction have been examined. Regression analyses show that feelings of distress, perceived stress in teaching and classroom management and perceived barriers to professional development show a negative relationship with job satisfaction. Moreover, a safe learning and working climate in school and school satisfaction in general are positively related to teachers’ job satisfaction. The results are discussed in the light of findings from other research on teachers’ job satisfaction and research of TALIS data, in particular.
