The relationship between job satisfaction and organisational citizenship behaviour amongst primary school teachers in previously disadvantaged areas in the Western Cape

Abstract

Education is one of the top three issues on the national agenda. Any means for improving the system is in the best interest of the nation, and "improved leadership and management are critical to the conditions of work that are required for effective teaching and learning to occur" (National Education Association, 1986, Foreword). Several recent studies have drawn attention to the relationship between job satisfaction and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB).
