Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to construct, validate and verify the ecological validity of the new measurement instrument, i.e., the Croatian School Climate Questionnaire – Teachers Version (HUŠK-N), which measures the general factor of the school climate from a teacher's perspective. Data were collected on three convenient samples of primary school teachers (N = 504) and on one sample of secondary school teachers (N = 196). In addition to the HUŠK-N questionnaire, teachers also completed questionnaires of several constructs relevant to teacher functioning. The results indicated that HUŠK-N has satisfactory psychometric characteristics, relatively high reliability (α > 0.77), a clear one-factor structure, and a normal distribution of responses. Correlation analysis revealed the expected direction of correlations of perception of school climate with selected constructs at all educational levels.
