Eastern Educational Research Association. Exploring the Relationship Between Entrepreneurial Behavior and Teachers' Job Satisfaction

• In Event: The Consortium of State and Regional Educational Research Associations: Distinguished Paper Session 1

Abstract

This exploratory study has two goals: exploring the relationship between entrepreneurial behavior and job satisfaction among teachers, and identifying the demographic characteristics associated with both variables. Using a snowball technique, a sample of 385 K-12 Brazilian teachers from public and private schools responded to the survey. Statistical analysis revealed a moderate correlation between entrepreneurial behavior and job satisfaction. Results also show that gender and educational level are associated with entrepreneurial behavior. The discussion includes theoretical and practical implications.
