Abstract

The present study aimed to explore the job satisfaction level of the administrators working at the kindergartens located in the central province of Jordan. A questionnaire was developed. 250 questionnaire forms were distributed to administrators working at the kindergartens located in the central province of Jordan. 220 forms were retrieved and considered valid for analysis. The sample was selected through using the random stratified sampling method. A descriptive survey-based approach was adopted. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were measured. It was found that the job satisfaction level of the selected administrators is moderate. It was found that there is a statistically significant difference –at the statistical significance level of (a ≤0.05)- between the respondents’ job satisfaction levels which can be attributed to gender and academic qualification. The gender-related difference is for the favor of females. It was found that there isn’t any are statistically significant difference –at the statistical significance level of (a ≤0.05)- between the respondents’ job satisfaction levels which can be attributed to  experience. The researchers recommend exerting more effort to promote job satisfaction among the staff working at kindergartens. Such effort should be exerted by the Jordanian Ministry of Education. Such effort may include conducting studies about the social, economic, and psychological problems experienced by those administrators
