Abstract:

The aims of the current research are to reveal teachers' perception levels of organizational support, psychological capital, and job satisfaction, determine the direction and level of the correlation between the variables, and examine the mediating role of psychological capital between perceived organizational support and job satisfaction. While 1668 high school teachers working in Giresun province constituted the study population, the sample size was found to be 475 teachers as a result of the calculations. Quantitative data collection techniques were employed in the present research, designed as a relational survey design. The data were brought together using three different scales. The arithmetic mean of the scale scores demonstrates that the participants' perceived organizational support, psychological capital, and job satisfaction levels are high. In accordance with the correlation analysis results, there is a low positive correlation between the teachers' perceived organizational support level and the psychological capital level, there is a moderate positive correlation between the perceived organizational support level and job satisfaction, and there is a moderate positive correlation between the psychological capital level and job satisfaction level.
