Abstract

The aims of this research are the following: (a) to design a scale to measure the job satisfaction of school administrators, (b) to analyze the satisfaction level of this group. Coherently, this paper presents a reliable, valid and unprecedented scale with an Alfa Coefficient of 0.80 and with a factorial structure that explains 64% of the variance. It is concluded that administrators are highly satisfied; first of all, with management team and secretary’s collaboration; secondly, with teaching staff and students/families; and, finally, with work conditions. Sex variable does not show any relation with head teachers’ satisfaction, contrary to the type of educational institution variable that it does.
