Abstract
This study explores how purchasing digital technology in schools affects teachers' work satisfaction, how it affects usage frequency, and how different equipment purchase models affect usage frequency. The Slovenian school teachers included in the survey completed an online questionnaire designed for this research (n=288). Descriptive statistical analysis, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were performed and the results showed that there were no statistically significant difference between the work satisfaction of teachers and the frequency of use of digital technology in schools and their engagement in the equipment purchase of digital technology for teaching. Involving teachers in the procurement process would most likely also contribute to better use of the devices, as teachers would be able to purchase devices that they are familiar with. It would make sense to develop a strategy for the purchase of equipment at national level and at the level of individual schools.
