College/ University Program Variables and Their Relationship to the Job Satisfaction of Special Education Teacher Educators

Abstract
A national survey was conducted to investigate relationships between various job-related variables and job satisfaction among special education teacher educators. Five discrete job satisfaction factors were found and used for multi-variate, univariate, and post-hoc analyses. Results of the study indicated that faculty from larger institutions, programs offering advanced degrees, noncategorical programs, and urban or suburban areas were more satisfied with their job-related circumstances than those from institutions with a smaller student population, rural areas, and programs offering only Bachelor's degrees. One factor, Financial Conditions, was a majorjob satisfaction variable when compared with other program variables.
