TOMAS, José M.; SANTOS, Saturnino De Los  and  FERNANDEZ, Irene. Job Satisfaction of the Dominican Teacher: Labor Background. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.2, pp.63-76. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v28n2.71675.

The job satisfaction of the teachers' collective has been studied from various perspectives due to the significant effect it can have at both the economic and organizational levels. The sample used for this study was made up of 978 Dominican teachers, obtained through stratified sampling so that it would be representative of the population. An analysis of a structural equations model shows that work context and labor conditions affect the burnout and engagement of teachers. The study suggests that both burnout and engagement affect the job satisfaction of teachers. The model fits the data: x2(223)=1089.9, p<.001; CFI=.93; RMSEA=.066; SRMR=.107. The results shed light on the contextual factors of the educational field that could be reformulated in the development of future education policies.

Keywords : engagement; burnout; job satisfaction; mediation; organizational commitment.
