This article examines the relationship between the existing research and theoretical writings dealing with general job satisfaction, teacher job satisfaction, and William Glasser's concept of the quality school. While interrelationships between all three notions are clearly identified, implications for administrative action are also provided. Theoretical concepts are provided with the intent of drawing parallel assumptions for the world of practice.
