Factor analysis was applied to analyze both linking and bonding factors as measured by the JFQ.

The factor analyses show that both linking and bonding factors which emerged are distinct job factors in the school organization. The multiple regression analyses further indicate that both linking and bonding factors contribute significantly to teacher motivation with bonding factors functioning more significantly in the effective organization than in the average organization. Considerable support is provided to suggest that bonding theories could have wide ranging effects on current educational personnel practices, and they also undoubtedly provide new insights into the interaction of the teacher and the school environment.
