- A study of teachers' feelings about school life is important for educational administrators and policy makers since school life will determine what teachers feel, which in turn determine what teachers do. When more literature on teachers 'school life and feelings accumulates, understandings of school processes and how to improve school will be better. An instrument, Teachers' School Life Questionnaire, was developed for this study. LISREL and multilevel modeling techniques were used to analyse the data obtained from a sample of554 teachers from 44 secondary schools. The major findings of the study indicate that school characteristics had more effects on teachers' school life than did teacher characteristics and the four subscales of teachers 'feelings about school life were in a causal order as: order and discipline, sense of community, job satisfaction and teacher commitment with the former variable promoting the latter both directly and indirectly.[Copyright of Hong Kong Teachers' Centre Journal is the property of Hong Kong Teachers' Centre at http://www.edb.org.hk/hktc]
