Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the training package, the desire to permanence organization, on job satisfaction, quality of life, and psychological empowerment of elementary school teachers. The research method employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test, including a control group. The statistical population consisted of all elementary school teachers in Bukan city in 2024-05, from which 40 individuals were selected by convenience and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Then, the experimental group underwent organizational persistence training, while the control group received no intervention. The Riff Psychological Empowerment Questionnaire (1989), Walton Quality of Work Life (QWL) Questionnaire (1973), and the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (1967) were used to collect the data. The multivariate analysis of covariance and SPSS statistical software (version 27) were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that, after controlling for the pre-test effect, there was a significant difference between the mean post-test scores of job satisfaction, quality of life, and psychological empowerment in the experimental and control groups (P < 0.01). Based on the study's results, it can be concluded that the training package aimed at fostering a desire to remain in the organization is an effective intervention method for enhancing job satisfaction, psychological empowerment, and quality of work life among elementary school.
