This research aimed to examine the relationship between school climate and job satisfaction according to teachers' opinions. In the study designed in the relational scanning model, teachers working in Kayseri constitute the study group (N = 268). According to the research results; While teachers' climate perceptions were low, their job satisfaction levels were above average. Additionally, according to teachers' perceptions, school climate and job satisfaction perceptions differ between men and women; age groups; year of study; It was revealed that it did not change according to undergraduate and graduate graduation and school level. Again, according to teachers' perceptions, it was revealed that teachers' job satisfaction perceptions did not change depending on whether they were married or single, while their perception of school climate did change between married and single people, meaning that married teachers' perception of school climate was higher than single teachers. On the other hand, there was a statistically significant, low-level and positive relationship between the school climate and general dimensions of job satisfaction of the teachers in the study. Finally, it is understood that teachers' school climate perceptions significantly and positively predict their job satisfaction perceptions. In other words, a 100-unit increase in the school climate dimension increases job satisfaction perceptions by 25%.
