Satisfaction of higher education teachers.

Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are functions of perception regarding what is expected and obtained from a job or profession, as with the value attributed to them. When people perceive that they get what they aim for, their work will be a source of pleasure and satisfaction. Although there is little research in the field of higher education, this study aims to provide knowledge and reflection on the development of theoretical concepts and theories underlying the satisfaction of teachers, referring to other research with teachers from other levels of education. Despite the variability of the results regarding the relationship between satisfaction and other variables, we believe that many of the results are similar between the upper level and other levels of education. However, by not having this certainty, it seems appropriate to try to ensure a deeper analysis of this issue.
