Keywords:
sense of belonging, PSSM, engagement, teachers, cooperativism and worker cooperativeAbstract
In the worker cooperative ownership belongs to the workers and in this research we analyze teachers’ sense of belonging. The sense of belonging responds to the emotional component of engagement,
identification with the school. The sample consists of 36 of the 72 teachers from the only cooperative of this type in the province of Alava. We used the questionnaire “Psychological Sense of School Membership” (PSSM) of Goodenow (1993) still not used in our country and it has been created a specific questionnaire for teachers unreleased worldwide. The results suggest that the feeling of belonging is higher in men, in those who work in primary levels, in tutors and those with relatives in the center. To study the factors that affect the sense of belonging of teachers it is fundamental to avoid high dropout and failure rates of students.
