La satisfacción laboral del colectivo docente ha sido estudiada desde diversas perspectivas, debido a los importantes efectos que esta puede tener tanto a nivel económico como a nivel organizacional. La muestra empleada en este trabajo se compone de 978 docentes dominicanos, y fue obtenida mediante un muestreo estratificado, y, por tanto, representativo de la población. En este estudio se examina un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales en el cual el contexto de trabajo y las condiciones laborales afectan el burnout y el engagement de los profesores. A su vez, se plantea que burnout y engagement afectan la satisfacción laboral docente. El modelo ajustó a los datos: χ2(223)= 1089.9, p<.001; CFI=.93; RMSEA=.066;SRMR=.107. Los resultados arrojan luz sobre los factores contextuales del plano educativo que pudieran replantearse en el desarrollo de futuras políticas educativas.

The job satisfaction of the teachers’ collective has been studied from various perspectives due to the significant effect it can have at both the economic and organizational levels. The sample used for this study was made up of 978 Dominican teachers, obtained through stratified sampling so that it would be representative of the population. An analysis of a structural equations model shows that work context and labor conditions affect the burnout and engagement of teachers. The study suggests that both burnout and engagement affect the job satisfaction of teachers. The model fits the data: χ2(223)=1089.9, p<.001; CFI=.93; RMSEA=.066; SRMR=.107. The results shed light on the contextual factors of the educational field that could be reformulated in the development of future education policies.

A satisfação profissional do coletivo docente vem sendo estudada de diversas perspectivas, devido aos importantes efeitos que ela pode ter tanto no âmbito econômico quanto no organizacional. A amostra deste trabalho está composta por 978 docentes dominicanos e foi obtida mediante uma amostragem estratificada, e, portanto, representativa da população. Neste estudo, foi examinado um modelo de equações estruturais em que o contexto de trabalho e as condições de trabalho afetam o burnout e o engagement dos professores. Por sua vez, argumenta-se que burnout e engagement afetam a satisfação profissional docente. O modelo ajusta-se aos dados: χ2(223)=1089.9, p<.001; CFI=.93; RMSEA=.066; SRMR=.107. Os resultados esclarecem os fatores contextuais do plano educativo que podem ser repensados no desenvolvimento
de futuras políticas educativas.
