The aim of the present paper is to provide a theoretical framework for analyzing an interaction between two kinds of teachers’ economic and political responses to job dissatisfaction. The basic hypothesis here is as follows: Teachers’ job dissatisfaction generates the pressure of economic demands among them, which will be channeled into individual economic action in their everyday economic life or the collective act of communicating their grievances to the authorities in the political scene the more pressure escapes through individual actions in everyday economic life, the less is available to foment the collective action in the political scene, and vice versa.
