Work Values Influencing Level of Satisfaction Among Instructors in a Normal University in China

Pan Kanda

Abstract: This study aims to explore the impact of instructors' work values on their levels of job satisfaction. Taking instructors and educational management workers from a normal university in China as the research objects, through sorting out relevant literature and constructing a theoretical framework, we put forward several hypotheses, and collected data through questionnaire surveys and in - depth interviews, and conduct empirical analysis. The study found that instructors' work values were not found to be significantly correlated with their level of job satisfaction. However, the results of this paper not only provide a theoretical basis for teachers' professional development, but also provide practical guidance for school management to improve teacher satisfaction levels.
