특수학교 직업담당 교사들을 대상으로 직무만족도를 알아보는 일은 우리 나라 특수교육의 개선을 위해 매우 중요하고 의의있는 일이며, 직업담당교사의 직무만족 여부는 장차 우리 나라 특수학교에서의 직업교육이 성패를 좌우할 만큼 커다란 영향을 끼칠 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 정신지체 특수학교 직업담당교사의 직무만족도를 조사하고 직무만족에 영향을 미치는 각 변인들 간의 상호 관계를 구명하고, 이를 통하여 교사의 직무생활의 질과 직무만족도를 증진시키기 위한 기초 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 구체적인 목적은 첫째, 정신지체 특수학교 직업담당교사의 학교 설립별에 따른 6가지 영역의 직무만족도 간의 차이를 알아보고, 둘째, 교직 경력 및 직위에 따른 직무만족도에 차이가 있는지 알아보며 셋째, 직업교육 전공 여부와 직무만족도 간의 차이를 알아보는 데 있었다. 본 연구는 정신지체 특수학교 직업담당교사의 직무만족도를 알아보기 위하여 중등 이상의 직업교육이 개설된 64개교의 직업담당교사 121명을 대상으로 6개 직무만족 영역의 36개 문항으로 구성된 설문지를 내용으로 하여 분석 통계 처리한 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 학교 설립별에 따른 직무만족도는 교육과정 운영과 지역사회와의 관계 2가지 영역에서 사립교사의 직무만족도가 높았다. 둘째, 교직 경력에 따라서는 교직 태도, 보수 2가지 영역에서 5년 이하의 경력을 가진 교사와 21년 이상의 경력을 가진 교사의 직무만족도가 높았다. 또한 직위에 따른 직무만족도는 행정적 지원, 교직 태도, 교육과정 운영, 지역사회와의 관계의 4가지 영역에서 평교사 보다 부장교사들의 직무만족도가 더 크게 나타났다. 그러나 기간제 교사들의 직무만족도가 전 영역에 걸쳐 좀더 높았다. 셋째, 전공에 따른 직무만족도는 직업교육을 전공한 교사들이 비전공교사들보다 행정적 지원, 교사간의 관계, 교육과정 운영, 지역사회와의 관계 등의 영역에서 높았다.
