The study focuses on interdependence of job (dis)satisfaction and stress level in the teaching profession. As job satisfaction and stress are not unambiguously defined terms, the theoretical part of this paper deals with detailed analysis of different aspects of study as well as the factors which affect the level of satisfaction and stress in teachers. The aim of the study was to determine the relations between job satisfaction and workplace stress in male and female teachers from the Split-Dalmatia County and to answer the following questions: to which extent are the respondents satisfied with their job, to what extent do they recognize their own exposure to workplace stress, is there a significant correlation between the level of job (dis)satisfaction and exposure to workplace stress and what is the interdependence of job (dis)satisfaction characteristics and stress level characteristics in respondents according to demographic variables. The study was conducted on a sample of 186 male and female teachers of lower and higher grades in 11 elementary schools. For the purposes of the study, the Job Satisfaction Survey (Paul E. Spector 1994) and the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Kamarck & Mermelstein, 1983) were used. The difference in the level of satisfaction and perceived stress according to different demographic variables (gender, educational level, lower/higher grades, workplace) was analysed by T-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Further Post hoc analysis of differences within the statistically significant items was performed by Tukey HSD test for unequal samples (male and female teachers).
