Therefore, in the present study, the effect of organizational and superior’s support on the content and structural job plateau of teachers has been investigated. The statistical population of this study is all secondary school teachers in Tehran in the academic year 1397-1397 from among whom 423 teachers were selected as the sample using stratified random sampling. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient showed that the relationships between all research variables are significant at 99% confidence level. The results of regression test showed that the standard regression coefficients related to the variables of superior’s support at 95% confidence level and organizational support at 99% level on the structural and content plateau are significant. These results show that the higher the support of the superior and the support of the organization, the lower the content and structural plateau of teachers.
