Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between economic status and social exclusion among teachers in Zahedan. The research was conducted by survey method . The statistical population includes all teachers in districts 1 and 2 of Zahedan city in all three grades. The sample size was estimated to be 357 using the Cochran's formula. The sampling method is a combination of stratified random sampling methods and cluster sampling. The results show that the feeling of social exclusion among teachers is moderate. In terms of economic status, the majority of teachers are homeowners, are in middle economic class, have a moderate monthly household expenses, their sense of poverty is high and their level of satisfaction with the country's economic situation is very low. All variables of economic status have a significant relationship with the feeling of social exclusion, in which the relationship of economic class is inverted. There are also significant relationships between gender, age, level of education, ethnicity , religion, employment status, teaching level and work experience and feelings of social discrimination and feelings of social exclusion. The results of linear multivariate regression analysis show that the model composed of variables of economic status, feeling of social discrimination, monthly household expenses, feeling of poverty and gender at a very significant level explain 43% of changes in teachers' feeling of social exclusion.
