The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between (1) job satisfaction and stress, (2) job satisfaction and nine demographic variables, and (3) stress and nine demographic variables in secondary home economics teachers. Questionnaires, including a teacher profile, the short form of the Min nesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the New York State Teachers Survey on Teacher Stress, were mailed to 150 teachers. Respondents included 100 currently employed consumer, homemaking, and occupational home economics teachers. No relationship was found between stress and job satisfaction nor between stress and any demographic variables. Significant differences in job satisfaction were found for the demographic variables of number of pupils taught, years as a teacher, and marital status. Intrinsic satisfaction was significantly associated with number of pupils, years as teacher, and type of school system while extrinsic satisfaction was significantly associated with marital status and number of pupils. Discussion includes possible explanations for findings and implications for teachers and teacher educators.
