ABSTRACT=<sec><title>Purpose</title><p>The purpose of this study was to test the factor structure as well as the reliability of the Physical Education Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale (PETJSS).</p></sec><sec><title>Method</title><p>The scale’s structural validity, internal consistency and reliability were examined using CFA and Cronbach alpha. The predictive validity of the PETJSS was examined using Teacher Self-Efficacy (TSES-11) and the personal characteristics of the subjects.</p></sec><sec><title>Result</title><p>The three-factor structure of the PETJSS was confirmed. The PETJSS three-dimensional model had good internal consistency/reliability. The three dimensions of the PETJSS (colleague satisfaction, parent satisfaction and student behaviour satisfaction) explained 81.206% of the overall job satisfaction. Also, the PETJSS demonstrated the expected correlation with teachers’ self-efficacy, whilst the PETJSS test results were related to physical education teachers’ job titles.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>The PETJSS (Chinese version) can be considered as a valid and reliable method.</p></sec>
