Abstract:
There is a steady migration of Filipino teachers to the US, while teachers that remain in the Philippines face a number of challenges. This study sought to ascertain whether a difference exists between the job satisfaction levels of Filipino teachers based in the Philippines and those based in the US. Through snowball and quota sampling, 30 Filipino teachers working in Philippine public schools and 30 Filipino teachers working in US public schools were invited to participate in this research. The Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale 9-item questionnaire (TJSS-9) was used as the instrument for this study. The results revealed that for the domain of satisfaction with co-workers, Filipino teachers based in the US had higher levels of job satisfaction. But for the domains of student discipline and parental involvement, the Filipino teachers based in the Philippines had higher levels of job satisfaction. However, t-test results indicate that these differences were not statistically significant.
