Abstract
This study describes the sources of satisfaction and dissatisfaction reported by a sample of New Zealand primary school teachers. The results are seen as broadly consistent with Herzberg's two‐factor theory. The usefulness of a single‐item measure of overall satisfaction is discussed critically. Comparison between groups of teachers suggests that the pupil intake, the adequacy of the school buildings and playground, the headteacher's age, the headteacher's responsibility for a class, and the teacher's own age are all related to job satisfaction.Keywords
