 Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin statü kaygıları ile mesleki motivasyonları arasındaki ilişkide yaşam doyumunun aracılık rolünü araştırmaktır. Öğretmenlerin mesleki ve bireysel gelişimlerini olumsuz etkileyen statü kaygısının, mesleki motivasyonları üzerinde nasıl bir etkisi olduğu ve yaşam doyumunun bu etkiye nasıl aracılık ettiğini inceleyerek elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda öğretmenlerin mesleki motivasyonlarını iyileştirmeye ve arttırmaya yönelik bulgular sunabileceği için bu araştırma önemlidir. Araştırma, ilişkisel tarama modeline dayalı nicel yöntem kullanılarak öğretmenlerle yürütülmüştür. Çalışma grubunu Orta Karadeniz Bölgesindeki devlet okullarında görev yapan 253 öğretmen 165 kadın ve 88 erkek oluşturmuştur. Öğretmenler kolay örnekleme yoluyla seçilmiştir. Çalışmada veri toplama araçları olarak Statü Kaygısı Ölçeği, Öğretmen Mesleki Motivasyon Ölçeği, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ve araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon Analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve anlamlı korelasyonlar ortaya konulmuştur. Daha sonra analiz için bir aracılık modeli oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma bulguları, statü kaygısı ile mesleki motivasyon arasında anlamlı negatif bir ilişki, yaşam doyumu ile mesleki motivasyon arasında ise pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Aracılık analizi sonucunda, yaşam doyumunun statü kaygısı ile mesleki motivasyon arasında anlamlı bir aracılık rolü olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin mesleki motivasyonlarını artırmak için, statüyle ilgili endişelerini azaltmaları ve yaşam doyumlarını artırmaları konusunda desteklenmeleri önerilmektedir.
