Abstract:

Education organizations have an important role in shaping the lives of individuals and societies. In order for educational organizations to reach their goals, it can be foreseen that employees of the training organization feel a commitment to their organizations, provide satisfaction with their jobs and stay away from work stress. It is thought that the employees who are committed to their organizations and who are satisfied with their jobs and who are far from the job stress will perform their duties better. This research was carried out with the teachers working in high schools in Elazığ province in 2016-2017 academic year. In this study, job satisfaction, job stress, and organizational commitment (emotional and normative commitment) of teachers were examined and the relationships between job satisfaction, job stress and organizational commitment were examined as well. According to the study findings, teachers' job satisfaction levels are high, but their work stress and organizational commitment perceptions are at a moderate level. In addition, a moderate, significant and positive correlation was found between the perception of organizational commitment and perception of job satisfaction. There is a low and significant negative relationship between organizational commitment and job satisfaction with job stress. When the stress of teachers' in their work increases, job satisfaction and organizational commitment perception of them decrease. Recommendations are presented to the practitioners in accordance with the findings of the study.
