The purpose of this quantitative study is to investigate the association between teacher’s perceived time use and workload and job satisfaction. A survey was sent to all instructional staff from three charter school districts in Southeast Michigan. A descriptive and correlational method was used to analyze the data. The data for 179 instructional staff members across elementary, middle, and high school was collected and analyzed. The primary findings revealed that perceived administration support leads to higher levels of satisfaction, which in turn leads to higher levels of intent to return. This research also supports prior research stating teacher workload and perceived time use can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed, stressed, and frustrated. Regression analysis also revealed that teachers who have been teaching for 0-2 years are less likely to want to return compared to teachers with 11 or more years of experience. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
