Authors : Sili Assia . Aliouchouche Fadhila .

Abstract

Teachers’ attitudes towards their profession represent an essential part of the teacher’s profile because it is often reflected in their teaching philosophy and practices in the classroom. Therefore, analysing professional attitudes would considerably contribute in enhancing the teaching experience. This study aims to explore primary school teachers of English attitudes towards their profession by focusing on two main aspects: job satisfaction and commitment. The research adopted a quantitative research approach. It involved sixty-six teachers from Bejaia, who responded to a validated job satisfaction scale developed by Ho and Au (2006) and a commitment scale designed by Thien et al. (2014). The findings revealed that the teachers held moderate attitudes towards their profession. While they reported moderate satisfaction with most aspects, they expressed a certain dissatisfaction with the teaching conditions. Similarly, the teachers held moderate commitment to their job, primarily either affective or continuance. The study concluded with practical recommendations to enhance teachers’ job satisfaction and commitment.
