The aim of this study is to investigate a) the reasons which incited teachers to take the decision to transfer, b) the degree of satisfaction and the problems they face, and c) the professional development in the new working environment. For the data collection of this research a questionnaire was used. Finally, 126 questionnaires have been answered by teachers that transferred into administrative positions from 24 Administration offices of Primary and Secondary Education in Greece.
The results of the investigation showed that the majority of the transferred teachers consider, the cooperation with their colleagues, the continuing education and upgrading, as well as their basic training, the most important factors of their professional development, factors that rank in the first places of the research’s results, while attending post-graduate programs and the search for knowledge in the internet rank in the last positions.
