Abstract

Objectives This study was to examine the validity of the component factors of the item on the job satisfaction scale of elementary school special teachers.
 Methods 214 elementary school special teachers were asked to respond to the Job Satisfaction Inventory developed by Roh, Jong-hee(2001). Next, exploratory factor analysis(EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) were conducted. CFA is model suitability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. The SPSS statistical program and the AMOS program were used for validation and reliability analysis.
 Results First, a total of 14 questions consisting of 4 factors(fellowship, work(burden), innovation, teaching consciousness) were found to be valid for the final job satisfaction scale. Second, most of the model suitability(χ2/(df)=1.372 < 2, RMR .018, GFI .941, AGFI .912, NFI .954, IFI .987, CFI .987, RESEA .042) was also found to be good. Third, the internal reliability of the item on the final scale was high at .867(fellowship .935, work(burden) .858, innovation .858, teaching consciousness .908).
 Conclusions Based on these results, the measurement of job satisfaction of elementary school special teachers in the future and the use of the results were suggested.
