Abstract:The purpose of the current study was to investigate the impact of job satisfaction, motivation and leadership type on the performance of Greek Lifelong Learning Trainers and particularly the relationship between motivation and job satisfaction; the relationship between motivation, job satisfaction, leadership and performance; and the relationship between motivation and job satisfaction and performance and the demographic characteristics of the trainers. The research sample consisted of 112 Lifelong Learning Trainers. The research results among others indicate that the higher the motivation the higher the job satisfaction of Lifelong Learning Trainers. Moreover, regarding the existence of a relationship between job satisfaction, motivation, leadership and performance, it was found that there are positive relationships among the three factors and the performance of the trainer. Specifically, the higher the levels of job satisfaction, motivation and leadership, the higher the performance of the trainers.

The purpose of this study was to examine possible differences and relations in Physical Education (P.E.) teachers' perceived job satisfaction and burnout, in relation to educational sector (private vs public), educational level (primary vs secondary) and gender. Two hundred and eighty two P.E. teachers, aged from 24 to 65 years old (M = 43.6, SD = 5.45), both from elementary and secondary schools, participated in the study. One hundred of them served in private schools and 182 in public ones. Their working exprerience ranged from one to 37 years (M = 14.5, SD = 7.23). The Employee Satisfaction Inventory (Koustelios & Bagiatis, 1997) was employed to assess job satisfaction. For the measurement of burnout, Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach & Jackson, 1986), which has been validated for the Greek population, was used. The results revealed a negative relationship between job satisfaction and burnout. Private sector P.E. teachers seem to experience higher job satisfaction and lower burnout compared to their public sector colleagues. Furthermore, P.E. teachers who serve both in elementary and secondary schools, appear to experience higher job satisfaction. Finally, secondary P.E. teachers seem to experience lower burnout compared to their primary education colleagues. No statistically significant differences were found in relation to gender for both job satisfaction and burnout. Overall, it seems that P.E. teachers who work in private schools and/or in secondary education seem to be more satisfied and less burned-out. Implications of the aforementioned observed relationships are discussed.Key words: Private school, public school, primary education, secondary education. ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue examinar las posibles diferencias y relaciones en la Educación Física (EF) con respecto a la percibida satisfacción laboral y el burnout de los profesores de la EF en relación con el sector de la educación (privado versus público), nivel educativo (primario versus secundario) y género. 282 profesores de la EF participaron en el estudio,con edades entre 24 y 65 años (M = 43.6, SD = 5.45), tanto de escuelas primarias que de secundarias, 100 siendo de las escuelas privadas y 182 de las públicas. Su experiencia de trabajo varía de uno a 37 años (M = 14.5, SD = 7.23). Para la evaluación de la satisfacción laboral se empleó el Inventario de Satisfacción del Empleado (ESI) (Koustelios & Bagiatis, 1997).

Los resultados revelaron una relación negativa entre la satisfacción laboral y el burnout. Los profesores de la EF trabajando en las escuelas privadas parecen experimentar mayor satisfacción en el trabajo y menor burnouten comparación con suis colleges del sector público. Además, los profesores de EF trabajando en el mismo tiempo en las escuelas primarias y secundarias, parecen experimentar mayor satisfacción laboral, mientras que los de la secundaria parec...

“…Strauss et al claimed that a high level of satisfaction can sustain proactivity [15]. The increasing focus on attitude toward work is linked to the belief that the degree of employee satisfaction is related to various aspects of job behavior, such as productivity, absenteeism, and turnover rates [16]. Nazir et al argued that satisfaction with extrinsic benefits, supervisor support, coworker support, autonomy, training, and participation in decision making significantly affects the affective and normative commitment of employees [17].…”

This study analyzes the effects of employee satisfaction and demographic indicators on employee commitment to organizational culture at the enterprise level. With data from a survey of 3029 employees from 27 state-owned enterprises (SOEs), a hierarchical linear model (HLM) is used to identify the influencing factors of employee commitment to organizational culture at the enterprise level. An empirical study indicates that apart from the factors of employee satisfaction and demographic background, four contextual variables of enterprises, namely, comprehensive management, energy intensity, cost-income ratio, and capacity-load ratio, also influence commitment to organizational culture levels. Results show that applying HLM can substantially improve the explanatory power of employee satisfaction factors on commitment to organizational culture using nested enterprise contextual variables. Although measurement scales and satisfaction models have been proposed over the years, only a few studies have addressed the particular nature inherent in Chinese SOEs. HLM, which accounts for the nested data structure and determines the effects of employee satisfaction factors on commitment to organizational culture without bias, is developed in this study. Through an insider view based on empirical work, this research can improve the ability of senior managers to understand the culture and dynamics of organizations, to deliver strong leadership, and to enhance corporate internal management.
