AbstractTeachers’ performances also depend on whether and how they are satisfied with their job. Therefore, Teacher Job Satisfaction must be considered as the driver of teachers’ accomplishments. To plan future policies and improve the overall teaching process, it is crucial to understand which factors mostly contribute to Teacher Job Satisfaction. A Common Assessment Framework and Education questionnaire was administered to 163 Italian public secondary school teachers to collect data, and a second-order factor analysis was used to detect which factors impact on Teacher Job Satisfaction, and to what extent. This model-based approach guarantees to detect factors which respect important properties: unidimensionality and reliability. All the coefficients are estimated according to the maximum likelihood estimation method in order to make inference on the parameters and on the validity of the model. Moreover, a new multi-group test for higher-order factor analysis was proposed and implemented. Finally, we analyzed in detail whether the factors impacting Teacher Job Satisfaction are characterized by gender.

Abstract:PERCEPTION OF JUSTICE: REFLEXION ABOUT HIGHER EDUCATION TEACHERAn analysis was conducted on the subject of the inverse association between perceptions of justice, job satisfaction and its association with seniority, type of institution and employment contract. Included were teachers, either under contract or lecturing at Instituto Superior Miguel Torga (ISMT) and at Escola Superior de Tecnologias da Saúde de Coimbra (ESTES). The instruments used were: Teacher Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (TJSQ), Questionnaire of Teachers’ perceptions of Justice in Higher Education (QPJ) and a Socio-Demographic Questionnaire. From those surveyed, 48 of the 81 teachers (59.3 %) are female and 33 (40.7 % ) belong to the male gender. From those with a higher participation rate 58% hold a Masters degree, 66 % have an employment contract and 28.3 % began their teaching activity in the last five years. A conclusion was reached testifying the existence of highly significant correlations between QPJ and TJSQ. The relation between QPJ and TJSQ has shown that the different factors that make up the QPJ scale and factors 1 and 2 of the TJSQ reach statistical significance, and all of the factors of QPJ reach highly significant correlations with factors 3, 4 and 5 of the TJSQ scale. ISMT shows higher average values when compared to ESTES in all QPJ factors, exhibiting no significant differences. Regarding the number of years at work, ESTES teachers who have worked fewer years have higher averages than those who have worked for longer periods, and at ISMT the lowest average values belong to those who have worked for more years. Teachers working under service providing contracts show higher average values related to their perception of justice in the different factors, in view of this, significant differences between ISMT teachers with an employment contract and a contract to provide services are exhibited in factors 1 and 4 of the QPJ.Key words: perception of justice, higher education teacherResumo:Analisamos uma associação inversa entre as perceções de justiça e as dimensões da satisfação profissional e a sua relação com a antiguidade, tipo de instituição e contrato de trabalho. Incluímos os docentes, contratados e em exercício de funções do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga (ISMT) e da Escola Superior de Tecnologias da Saúde de Coimbra (ESTES). Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Teacher Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (TJSQ), o Questionário de Perceções de Justiça dos Professores do Ensino Superior (QPJ) e um Questionário Sociodemográfico. Dos 81 docentes 48 (59,3%) são do sexo feminino e 33 (40,7%) são do sexo masculino. Quanto aos mais participativos 58% são mestres, 66% têm contrato de trabalho e 28,3% iniciaram a sua atividade docente nos últimos cinco anos. Concluímos a existência de correlações altamente significantes entre os fatores do QPJ e os do TJSQ o que permitiu verificar que os fatores que compõem a escala do QPJ e o fator 1, 2 da TJSQ atingem significância estatística e os fatores do QPJ correlações altamente significantes com o fator 3, 4 e 5 da TJSQ. O ISMT apresenta médias mais elevadas que a ESTES em todos os fatores do QPJ não havendo diferenças significativas. Em relação aos anos de trabalho os docentes da ESTES que trabalham há menos anos apresentam médias mais elevadas que os que trabalham há mais e no ISMT as médias mais baixas são dos que trabalham há mais anos. No contrato de trabalho os docentes em regime de prestação de serviço apresentam nos diferentes fatores médias de perceção de justiça mais elevadas pelo que há diferenças significativas entre os docentes do ISMT com contrato de trabalho e com contrato de prestação de serviços ao nível do fator 1 e 4 do QPJ.Palavras-chave: perceções de justiça, docentes de ensino superior

Industrial Organizational Psychology

Job Satisfaction has been the focus of thousands of studies and published articles in industrial-organizational psychology (Resnick & Bond, 2001).In general, Job Satisfaction is defined as a positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job and is linked to the characteristics of one’s work (Dressel, 1982; Butler, 1990; Arches, 1991, cit in Sari, 2004), that is to say Job Satisfaction is usually treated as a collection of feelings or affective responses associated with the job situation, or “simply how people feel about different aspects of their jobs” (Spector, 1997, p.2). In 1967, Weiss, Dawis, England & Lofquist developed the short version of the MSQ - Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, a 5-point Likert-type scale with 20 items. This scale has been widely used in the literature being a well-known and stable over the time instrument (cf. Mathiew and Farr, 1991, Moorman, 1993, Hart, 1999, etc. cit in Fields, 2002); previous researches have been yielding coefficient alpha values ranging from .85 to .91. This instrument is also quite parsimonious, (in comparison with the 72 items of the JDI – Job Descriptive Index, for example). In this study we developed an exploratory factor analysis to assess the factor structure of this scale in a Hospital Workers sample, with N=140, recurring to IBM – PASW. Following this procedure, we conducted a Confirmatory Factor Analysis using AMOS, where our exploratory structure was compared with other structures found in previous studies, namely Martins (2008) and Sousa, Martins and Cruz (2011). This work aims at improving our understanding of the nature and assessment of Job Satisfaction in the Portuguese health care context, providing a more stable ground for future research in this area.
