Job Satisfaction among Primary School Personnel in Madagascar
研究马达加斯加小学教师工作满意度，发现低工资、欠薪、工作不稳定、缺乏培训、高师生比和基础设施不足是主要不满原因，校长控制也降低满意度。
This article analyses the job satisfaction of primary school teachers in Madagascar. Based on the estimation of multilevel models, low wages and problems getting paid, job insecurity, lack of in-service training, high pupil-teacher ratios, and lack of basic infrastructure and teaching materials are identified as the main reasons for dissatisfaction. Principals’ control of teachers’ activities also adversely affects satisfaction, suggesting that, in Malagasy schools, neither school directors nor teachers have succeeded in adopting organisational cultures based on cooperation among their members. These results are likely to stimulate debates on educational policy, both in Madagascar and in many other developing countries.
