An instrument designed to measure teacher job satisfaction was developed using randomly selected elementary, junior high school, and senior high school teachers in New York City, Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester Counties. Factor analysis was undertaken as an exploratory technique to help discover underlying factors and as a psychometric procedure for the development and refinement of the instrument (TJSQ). A terminal nine-factor orthogonal varimax solution was accepted using the criterion of Eigenvalues greater than or equal to unity. The internal consistency of the instrument was calculated (coefficient alpha) for each scale and for the total score (.93).
