Abstract

In Ecuador there are no previous studies that allow knowing the weight of the factors of the labor climate and its impact on job satisfaction in educational units. The objective of this paper is to establish the level and effect of climate factors on teachers, through the Organizational Climate questionnaire prepared by Juan Pablo Ortega (2017), an instrument that helps to give greater depth and continuity to the process of studying the organizations, and their impact on satisfaction in its 20 dimensions determined by the Minnesota job satisfaction questionnaire (MSQ), applying the adaptation of its short version (1977). The total sample of the study population is composed of 200 teachers who belong to the academic body of two Educational Units in the city of Guayaquil. It is investigated the connection of the satisfaction with demographic characteristics, the profession and the work place and also identifies the relevant individual characteristics related to the professional practice; which in its analysis indicates that the factor that shows significant relation to teacher´s satisfaction is the salary they receive and working recognitions in reference to the workload they carry out.
