Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the connection between job communication and demands on the one hand and job satisfaction of teachers from the Republic of Serbia on the other. The sample was convenient and consisted of 119 teachers working in primary and secondary schools. The results showed a statistically significant correlation between work overload and job satisfaction. Correlation between the emotional demands and job satisfaction was also established. A statistically significant correlation was established between the support of colleagues and job satisfaction. The correlation between the support of superiors and job satisfaction was also established. The results of the research can contribute to designing ways to enhance teachers' job satisfaction. Namely, this paper can help in creating a workplace where job demands are achievable and do not have a negative impact on the working behavior of teachers. Certain job demands should be reduced or optimized and job communication with colleagues and superiors should be improved. The results of this work can help school management in the goals of increasing the psychological well-being of teachers, since job satisfaction is connected on the one hand with absenteeism, the intention to leave the organization, and on the other hand with greater motivation and student achievement.
