The theory that perceptions of job facet satisfaction are already weighted by importance was investigated with reference to elementary and junior high school principals in Alberta, Canada. Relationships were examined between (a) the importance of job facets for satisfaction and (b) satisfaction with job facets and overall job satisfaction. Results indicated that, contrary to findings in professions other than education, assessments of facet importance may not be implicit in assessments of job satisfaction. Facet importance and facet satisfaction should therefore be investigated as separate variables, and initiatives to enhance school administrators' satisfaction may best be focused on important matters such as involvement in hiring of staff (elementary schools) and the performance of students and teachers (junior high schools). In view of the changing role of school principals in many locations, studies of job satisfaction and the importance of job facets for satisfaction are needed urgently
