Abstract

Recorded as the epicenter of Pazarcık District of Kahramanmaraş, this 7.7 magnitude earthquake caused great destruction and loss of life in eleven provinces in southeast Turkey. On the same day, at 13.24, another 7.6 magnitude earthquake with the epicenter of Kahramanmaraş-Elbistan occurred and similarly, loss of life and property was ex̄ perienced. These two major earthquakes and the subsequent aftershocks triggered feelings of pain, fear and helplessness among the people in the region.

The aim of this study is to investigate the job satisfaction levels of teachers in terms of various variables after the February 6 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes.
