Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the extent to which the components of job enrichment, job security, and job dynamism are implemented in non-governmental primary schools in Zahedan during the 2024–2025 academic year. In terms of purpose, this research is applied, and in terms of method, it is a descriptive study of the correlational type. The statistical population consisted of all primary school teachers in non-governmental schools in Zahedan (N = 750). Based on the Krejcie and Morgan table and using a stratified random sampling method, a sample of 375 teachers (165 females and 210 males) was selected. Data were collected using the Job Enrichment Questionnaire (McDowell, 2005), the Job Security Questionnaire (Nissi et al., 2000), and the Job Dynamism Questionnaire (Tez et al., 1997). The collected data were analyzed at both descriptive and inferential levels, including descriptive statistics, one-sample t-test, and the Friedman test, using SPSS version 28.
The findings indicated that the level of implementation of the components of job enrichment, job security, and job dynamism in non-governmental primary schools in Zahedan was above the average level. However, from the respondents’ perspective, the implementation of the component of individual freedoms within job enrichment was not satisfactory. Among the job enrichment components, social interactions at work ranked first based on mean rank. Furthermore, among the components of job security, job choice received the highest mean rank. In addition, among the components of job dynamism, promoting organizational excellence ranked first based on mean rank. The results of this study can assist educational managers and policymakers in improving the working conditions of teachers in non-governmental schools.
