Abstract:

The motivation of educators is an essential component in fostering excellence in both teaching and learning. Motivated educators are more likely to encourage their students to study while in the classroom, to assure the implementation of educational innovations, and to have feelings of pleasure and satisfaction in their own lives. Further, this study investigates the factors affecting the teacher's job satisfaction in public secondary school, specifically: (1) the satisfaction and dissatisfaction levels of teachers; and (2) the significant difference in the teachers' levels of satisfaction when grouped according to sex, age, educational attainment, academic discipline. Based on the statistical analysis of data, there was no significant difference in the level of satisfaction when teachers were grouped according to sex, age, educational attainment, and academic discipline.
