Questionnaires assessing school administrators’ job-related stress, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions were completed by 331 administrators from 98 remote area elementary schools in Taipei County, Keelung City, Taoyuan County, and Ilan County. Findings of the study were as follow:
1. Most of the school administrators perceived a medium level of job-related stress.
2. School administrators reported a medium-high degree of job satisfaction.
3. Most of the school administrators had intentions to leave their schools.
4. There were significant differences in school administrators’ job-related stress based on martial status, level of education, position, years in profession, and years in school.
5. There were significant differences in school administrators’ job satisfaction based on gender, marital status, level of education, position, years in profession, and years in school.
6. There were significant differences in school administrators’ turnover intentions based on marital status, position, years in profession, and years in school.
7. School administrators’ perception of job-related stress was negatively related to job satisfaction. And school administrators’ perception of job satisfaction was negatively related to turnover intentions.
8. School administrators’ job-related stress was found to be a good predictor of job satisfaction, characterized by interpersonal interaction, intrapersonal conflict, and role expectation.
9. School administrators’ job satisfaction was found to be a good predictor of turnover intention, characterized by work itself and opportunities for promotion.
The study concluded with several suggestions for improving school administrators’ job-related stress and retention rates in remote area elementary schools.
