The purpose of the study was to determine if there were significant differences in the levels of job satisfaction of teachers of the deaf in residential and day school/class programs. Four selected subpopulations of these teachers were also compared.The Purdue Teacher Opinionaire was utilized to obtain teacher perceptions of job satisfaction. A questionnaire was utilized to obtain demographic data. Five major null hypothesis were tested by the multivariate and univariate analysis of variance.Findings1. Day school/class and residential school teachers of the deaf were found to be significantly different in levels of job satisfaction.2. Male and female teachers of the deaf were found to be significantly different in levels of job satisfaction.3. Normal hearing teachers of the deaf and deaf teachers of the deaf were found to be significantly different in levels of job satisfaction.4. Teachers of the deaf in various age groups were found to be significantly different in levels of job satisfaction.5. Teachers of the deaf with daily contact with deaf colleagues and those without daily contact with deaf colleagues were found to be significantly different in levels of job satisfaction.Conclusions1.The type of school (residential or day) does have an influence on job satisfaction levels of teachers of the deaf.2. There are significant differences in levels of job satisfaction between the following subgroups of teachers of the deaf: male and female; hearing and deaf; age ranges 20-25, 26-35, 36-45, and over 45; and teachers with daily contact with deaf colleagues and teachers without daily contact with deaf colleagues.
