A study investigated whether teachers with high levels of need fulfillment and self-esteem had more positive attitudes toward school change than teachers with low levels of need fulfillment and self-esteem. The study sample consisted of 101 elementary school teachers participating in the Connecticut School Effectiveness Project, a major innovation sponsored by the state's department of education. The research instrument used in this study was a three part package. The first part asked for information on demographic variables: teacher's role (classroom or specialist), classroom setting (self-contained or teamed), and teachers' education degree. Part 2 dealt with job satisfaction, and the third part was concerned with changed attitudes. It was found that need fulfillment and self-esteem alone were not related to teachers' attitudes toward change. A relationship existed between self-esteem and task change attitude, but not personal change attitude. Self-esteem did not appear to be a predictor of change attitude. Copies of the three questionnaires used in the study are appended. (JD)
