The central problem of this study was to determine if a relationship existed between the formal structural types of school district organizations and the perceived job satisfaction of classroom teachers. The rationale for the study emanated from one facet of contemporary administrative theory: organizations, with their formal structure, affect the individuals within the organizations. Specifically, the study attempted to answer the following questions: 1.

Are there any significant needs satisfaction differences in teacher groups when classified according to experience within tall, medium, and flat type organizational structures?
