A significant part of our lives is focused on work, and job satisfaction is one of the most prominent theoretical matters in the context of an individual's life. Many people believe that educators build a society because they choose this career path because of the many advantages it offers in terms of career transformation, leadership, satisfaction, and healthy relationships with colleagues and students.
