After defining morale and satisfaction and briefly examining writings on school superintendent job satisfaction and morale, the author describes the School Superintendent Morale Measure (SSMM), an objective measure of superintendent morale and satisfaction. From an initial 148 items and 14 factors included on the basis of presumed ability to measure instances described in the literature as important to the satisfaction and morale of public school superintendents, five factors comprised of 28 items were defined through factor analysis of responses of 195 Indiana and Illinois public school superintendents. The five factors are spirit, relations with the school board, liaison, chain of command, and professional gratification. The factors and their maximum loading and clarity of measurement are included in a chart. (Author/IRT)
