ABSTRACT
Today, the more trainers are satisfied with their work, the more they are encouraged to work
harder and also the more the efficiency of schools rises. On the other hand, dissatisfaction and low
levels of the performances of teachers derive in turn from their lack of satisfaction. As previous
researches show, dissatisfied employees give up their jobs and leave the organization. And satisfied
employees enjoy mental health and live longer, and being satisfied and happy can affect the employees
beyond their offices and have an effect on their personal lives. On that account, this research aims to
examine the impact that job satisfaction has on the mental health of teachers. The method used in this
study was a descriptive-explanatory one. The research sample consists of 332 teachers in the province
of Mazandaran, Iran. The dare were collected using questionnaires and the results showed that there is
a meaningful relationship between job satisfaction and mental health of the studied teachers.
