Abstract

Investigating the current situation of teachers’ job satisfaction is an important way to promote the development of education in less economically developed areas. This study used interview and questionnaire method to investigate teachers’ job satisfaction in County S, City A, Inner Mongolia. The results showed that teachers’ job satisfaction in the county was at a moderately low level, with low satisfaction in four dimensions, including “work difficulty and intensity”, “quality of students and parents”, “salary and remuneration”, “working and living conditions”. In contrast, satisfaction in “professional identity”, “social status” and “interpersonal relationship” are higher. Based on this, some solution strategies were proposed to improve teachers’ satisfaction in the region, to better motivate teachers to serve educational development goals, and promote high-quality educational development.
