The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship between urban secondary school physical education teachers' job satisfaction and job stress. In addition, differences in the levels of teacher job satisfaction and teacher job stress according to sex, age, years teaching, and school size were studied. / Data used were obtained from 229 secondary school physical education teachers teaching in 85 urban schools in North Florida and South Georgia. / Three instruments were used. They were a Personal Data Sheet, the Job Satisfaction Scale, and the Job-Related Stress Scale. The Pearson-Product Moment Correlation was used to test the first hypothesis and a one-way Analysis of Variance was used to test hypotheses 2 through 9. The .05 alpha level was used as the criterion for the rejection of the hypotheses. / The following conclusions are made: (a) There is a negative relationship between urban secondary school physical education teacher's job satisfaction and job stress; (b) Secondary school size above 1500 has an adverse affect on job satisfaction and job stress of secondary school physical education teachers; and (c) Male secondary school physical education teachers tend to have a higher level of job stress than do female secondary school physical education teachers. / The following recommendations are made: (a) Similar studies should be conducted using teachers in other subject areas to determine if there are differences in the job satisfaction and job stress of different subject matter teachers; and (b) Studies using different geographical areas to determine if demographic and cultural differences affect teacher job satisfaction and teacher job stress. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 47-01, Section: A, page: 0120. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
