Abstract
The present study was conducted to measure the level of job satisfaction among agricul-tural education teachers in Yazd Province of Iran. Agricultural education teachers from Yazd Province with a minimum of one year experience were included in the study. As a result so, the sample consisted of 60 agricultural education teachers. To study the job sat-isfaction level among respondents, the Brayfield and Rothe Job Satisfaction Index was used. A data form was used to collect information about demographic (independent) vari-ables and effective constraints reducing job satisfaction. The findings revealed that the majority of agricultural education teachers (56.7%) had a median level of job satisfaction, followed by 33.3 and 10 percent belonging to a low and high level of job satisfaction, re-spectively. According to regression analysis, "level of education", "number of students taught each year" and "class time (per day)" were found to have contributed to the in-crease in job satisfaction among agricultural education teachers. The effective constraints that had the most important impact on decreasing job satisfaction included an "absence of realistic expectations of teachers by society", "inadequate time for learning-by-doing programs" and an "inappropriate student-teacher ratio in class".
