Abstract
With the study reported on here we aimed to explore the relationship between situational determinants of teachers’ perceptions of organisational politics in some public high schools in the KwaZulu-Natal province. We adopted a cross-regional survey design and convenience sampling to study teachers (n = 301) at public high schools in all 10 districts in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. We found that perceived organisational politics had a positive relationship to job satisfaction. Analyses of correlational and stepwise regression showed numerous significant relations between the perceptions of organisational politics and job satisfaction variables. The results of the study can be used by the Department of Basic Education to improve South African provincial school management practices for the development and retention of experienced and valuable educators.
期刊介绍：
The South African Journal of Education (SAJE) publishes original research articles reporting on research that fulfils the criteria of a generally accepted research paradigm; review articles, intended for the professional scientist and which critically evaluate the research done in a specific field in education; book reviews, i.e. concise evaluations of books that have recently appeared; and letters in which criticism is given of articles that appeared in this Journal. Indicate the relevance of the study for education research where the education system is characterised by transformation, and/or an emerging economy/development state, and/or scarce resources. Research articles of localised content, i.e. of interest only to specific areas or specialists and which would not appeal to the broader readership of the Journal, should preferably not be submitted for consideration by the Editorial Committee. Ethical considerations: A brief narrative account/description of ethical issues/aspects should be included in articles that report on empirical findings.
