The authoritarian practices of the education inspector and its relationship to job satisfaction among teachers of primary education

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the nature of the relationship between the authoritarian practices of the
education inspector in the primary school and job satisfaction among teachers. The researchers
conducted a field study that included 209 teachers from the educational districts of the Directorate
of Education of M'sila using a questionnaire that included a set of controlling practices of the
inspector and the second tool represented by the measure of job satisfaction. The results of the study
found a negative correlation between these practices and general job satisfaction among teachers,
where the correlation coefficient was equal (r = -0.43).
