ABSTRACT
This study used the data from the TALIS 2018 to explore how teacher job satisfaction is affected by factors at the teacher-level (e.g., teacher motivation and teachers’ perceived disciplinary climate) and school-level (e.g., school delinquency and violence) simultaneously. The HLM results showed that both the school- and teacher-level factors were significantly related to teacher job satisfaction. These findings were discussed in relation to Chinese educational contexts.
