Abstract

The study provides the results of data analysis of 176 interviews with kindergarten teachers. Job satisfaction, work motivation and work engagement are manifestations of the psycho-social state and behavior of Albanian kindergarten teachers that are evaluated at the "moderate" level. The evaluation of Pearson's correlation coefficients between Job satisfaction, work motivation and work engagement identified the statistical significant relationships (p<0.05) between them. The multifactors linear regression analysis showed that job satisfaction is most important psycho-social indicator that affet the general variance of work engagement of the kindergarten teacher .  Among the demographic features with the greatest effect on the variance of work engagement is family status (p<0.01), followed by age and work experience of kindergarten. Propriety status of kindergarten and residential areas do not have a statistically significant impact on the state and psycho-social behavior of kindergarten teachers
