Abstract/Summary

This study explores the values and job satisfaction of special education teachers in the public and private schools. A total of 45 public and 45 private special education teachers participated in this study. Results revealed that special education teachers in both public and private schools display extremely positive values and are generally satisfied with their job. Ambivalence toward monetary compensation is however disclosed by both groups of respondents. It was also found out that moderate relationship (0.41) exists between the values and job satisfaction of special education teachers in the public school. On the other hand, the values and job satisfaction of private school teachers revealed no significant relationship (0.18). Moreover, the values and job satisfaction of special education teachers from both public and private school settings when compared, yielded t-values of 0.71 (values) and 0.11 (job satisfaction) which are not significant at 0.05 level.
