The primary purpose of this study was to test a structural equation model of the reciprocal relationship between work satisfaction and home satisfaction. To test the model, a random sample (n = 132) of home economics teachers in Virginia was surveyed to examine dimensions of work and home satisfaction. The all- female sample was mostly white, married, and of relatively high income levels. From responses to the survey, four home satisfaction factors and four work sat isfaction factors were identified. These factors were hypothesized as the manifest indicators of their respective latent satisfactions. Using Linear Structural Relation ship (LISREL) analysis, resulting maximum likelihood estimates suggest that the model was appropriate for the data, that the relationship between home satisfac tion and work satisfaction was significant, and that home satisfaction had a greater effect on work satisfaction than the reverse. Implications for teacher ed ucation and further research are discussed.
