RECENTLY published study in Teacher Education Research explored 

the mediating effects of teacher leadership and self-efficacy on school 

climate perception and job satisfaction, hence the researchers adopted soft-

ware include the SPSS24.0 and Amos21.0 for data management and analysis, 

setting up the sampling investigation and mediation model, and putting for-

ward pertinence suggestions according to the results of the study. 

The researchers took the rural teachers’ job satisfaction as dependent 

variables and considered teacher self-efficacy and leadership as the mediat-

ing variables of school climate perception. At first, this article described sta-

tistical variables, and then model checking the two meditation paths, includ-

ing “school climate→teacher leadership→job satisfaction” and “school cli-

mate→teacher leadership→job satisfaction”. 

The results are as follows: 

 Rural teachers’ satisfaction with the working environment is low-

er than that of the occupation itself, so a variety of measures 

should be taken to improve the quality of rural teachers’ working 

environment. 

 The school climate perceived by rural teachers has a significant 

predictive effect on their job satisfaction, in other words, a good 

school climate of cooperation and trust is helpful to improve 

teachers’ job satisfaction. 

 The role of teacher leadership plays a part in school climate per-

ception, which gradually affects the satisfaction degree through 

the function as a bridge. 

 The school climate perceived by rural teachers affects their job 

satisfaction through the mediating role of teacher self-efficacy.
