Job Satisfaction: A Study of the Relationship between Right-to-Work Policy and Public School Teachers' Perceptions
Buckman, David G.
Education Leadership Review, v18 n1 p52-66 Dec 2017
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between state unionization policy and teacher job satisfaction in the K-12 public school environment in the states of Florida and New York (i.e., a right-to-work state and a non-right-to-work state). Data were collected via electronic survey to analyze personal demographics, human capital, workload, state union policy and job satisfaction information. A mixed effects multiple regression analysis found right-toWork laws were statistically significant for overall job satisfaction and the job satisfaction facets of work and pay. Via study it was concluded that right-to-work laws had a negative impact on teacher job satisfaction.
