Abstract:

In this study, it was aimed at determining the relationship between intellectual capital and teacher's job satisfaction. This study used a survey-based correlational design. The sample of this research consists of 252 teachers in 37 schools that were selected randomly with the cluster sampling method from the primary schools in Hatay's Kırıkhan district in the 2016-2017 academic year. Data of this study were collected by "Intellectual Capital Scale" and "Job Satisfaction Scale". Analysis of this study was performed with the program of SPSS. According to the findings of regression analyses, intellectual capital levels of schools positively predict teachers' job satisfaction. While human capital and structural capital facets of intellectual capital don't significantly predict teachers' job satisfaction, the relative capital facet significantly predicts. It may be beneficial for school managers to invest in developing and strengthening intellectual capital of teachers, if they want teachers' job satisfaction to increase.
