The objective of this study was to identify factors affecting the job satisfaction of cooks employed in school foodservice and to propose a plan to improve school foodservice quality. Therefore, in this paper, we examined the job satisfaction of 119 elementary school foodservice employees in the Northern Gyeonggi Province using a 5-point scale method. The results were analyzed by the SPSS Package Program(Ver 12.0) to determine percentages and frequency. Among the employees, 99.2% were women, and 75.9% were employed by contract. All of the subjects worked in elementary schools with self operated foodservice system and 57.6% of them served food in the classroom. The total number of diners served by these foodservice programs was $1,391.6{pm}307.6$ an average of $135.0{pm}18.2$ diners per cook. Among the foodservice employees, 82.2% had completed high school academic courses, and 98.4% had never changed jobs. Their overall degree of job satisfaction degree was relatively high at $3.05{pm}0.85$, but the wage and welfare system($2.45{pm}0.86$), and the merit rating methods($2.25{pm}0.87$) ranked among the lowest in the job satisfaction survey. On the other hand, the relationships between the managers and the coworkers marked relatively higher at $3.02{pm}1.03$, compared with other aspects of job satisfaction. As for the work environment, the scaled score was $2.38{pm}0.85$. Finally the ranking of achieving job improvement through education($3.28{pm}0.93$), and the effectiveness of education($3.58{pm}0.78$) showed us the importance and necessity of education.
