Abstract
This study investigated the generality of the dual factor theory of job satisfaction as proposed by Herzberg, Mausner, and Snyderman (1959). Two questionnaires were employed to examine the sources of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction for elementary school principals in Israel. Results generally supported the two factor theory. Factors designated by Herzberg et al. as satisfiers were dominant sources of job satisfaction in this study as well. A comparison of the answers to the two questionnaires indicated that the attitudes toward the items are usually consistent. Results also showed that the two factor theory is contingent on individual factors.
