The teaching profession has changed throughout history. One of the most important segments of a teacher's quality work is a positive classroom atmosphere. In the theoretical part of the work, the teaching profession is presented through formal initial education, lifelong learning, competencies, and class management style. The main goal was to analyze certain elements of contemporary empirical research at the national level that address the role of teachers in building a positive classroom atmosphere. A total of twenty-one studies were selected, twelve of which were further analyzed. The main tasks of the research were related to determining the way of operationalizing the instruments, used research approaches and differences in the research sample, examining the differences in the problems of the selected research and determining recommendations for future research on the role of teachers in achieving a positive classroom atmosphere in the national context. The use of the My Class instrument in four analyzed papers was determined, as well as similarities in the operationalization of the instruments of five papers in assessment scales that analyzed satisfaction with school, interaction between students and teachers, satisfaction with school and sensitivity to violence. Furthermore, the qualitative research approach was used in one paper, while in the research sample the respondents were teachers or students. In the research problems of the selected works, elements of the classroom atmosphere are most often present, which refer to their influence on the relationship and communication between teachers and students, satisfaction with teaching and student self-concept. Lastly, the areas for improvement were highlighted in the works that had students as a sample, and it refers to the decline in student satisfaction with teaching methods and trust in teachers with increasing age. Also, there is a visible need for additional training on the topic of classroom atmosphere among teachers to successfully respond to the needs of their students.
