The aim of the present study is to provide a
comparative analysis of job satisfaction among male and
female teachers in early childhood education. A total of
163 teachers participated in the study, which utilized
Tahta’s (An analysis of job satisfaction of preschool
teachers, Hacettepe University, Ankara, 1995) Job Satis￾faction Survey and a Personal Information Form as data￾collection tools. Gender and other variables were compared
to mean scores extracted from seven sub-scales of the
survey using two-way ANOVA. The job-satisfaction levels
of the female teachers in the sample with regard to wages,
physical conditions, co-working status and organizational
climate were found to be higher than those of their male
colleagues. Moreover, among female teachers aged 21–25,
job satisfaction was also higher when it came to develop￾ment and promotion opportunities, as compared to male
teachers of all ages. However, the other variables measured
with gender—co-working status, class size and teaching
experience—had no statistically significant effect on any of
the sub-scales of the survey.
