The objective of this research is to contribute to the development of elementary school system by analysing the effect of communication on the job satisfaction in the elementary school teachers. It can be accomplished through looking over how communication is made in elementary school system and how communication is related to the job satisfaction. For carrying through this study, the following three questions were presented.
First, is there a significant difference of communication in elementary school system by the characteristic of population?
Second, is there a significant difference of the job satisfaction of elementary school teacher by the characteristic of population?
Third, how does communication in elementary school system effect the job satisfaction?
The major findings of this study are as follows First, in the formal communication up-ward-communication showed the highest satisfaction and down- ward-communication and horizontal-communication were followed. Informal communication showed the lowest level in satisfaction.
Second, the job satisfaction was high, generally. The job satisfaction of itself was the highest however it is showed that satisfaction of the system and the satisfaction of reward was low.
Third, the effect of communication in the system were successful if up-ward-communication and the horizontal-communication were active.
On the other hand, the informal communication as well as communication with people of lower status does not seem to influence any significant changes in their satisfaction levels.
From these results, in order to raise satisfaction levels in elementary teachers, suggest that communication with people with high status and the horizontal-communication need to be expanded and active constructively. The horizontal-communication such as hoppy club, the staff meeting, the social meeting, has to be institutionalized.
On the other hand, the administration needs the communication skills needed and further more, use informal communication positively.
The teacher group has many common factors such as education. But teacher are so individual that they are reluctant to open their mind.
We need that informal organization does not role as a social group but also attribute to make an open atmosphere between teachers.
