Teachers’ Job Satisfaction and Performance
Keywords:
Teachers’ job satisfaction, job performance, fringe benefits, working environment, job responsibilitiesAbstract
Teachers’ job satisfaction is essential to the overall commitment and productivity toward satisfying performance. Job satisfaction is a requirement for the teacher's work performance. In this context, this paper aimed to determine the level of teachers’ job satisfaction and performance of the public elementary school teachers in District IV-B, division of Bacolod City, during the school year 2022-2023. Data for this descriptive study was collected from 139 Public Elementary School Teachers who answered a research-made survey instrument. Most teacher-respondents are young, female, have shorter tenure, and have lower educational backgrounds. The level of teachers' job satisfaction has been found to be high. When grouped by age, sex, length of service, and educational attainment, the level of job satisfaction among teachers appears to be high in all areas. When responses were categorized based on length of service and educational attainment, a significant difference was observed in the level of teachers' job satisfaction regarding fringe benefits, working environment, and job responsibilities. However, no significant difference was found in the working environment concerning age groupings and job responsibilities when responses were grouped based on sex. A significant difference was observed in the teachers' level of job performance when grouped according to age, sex, and educational attainment, except in groupings by length of service. Finally, the study found a significant correlation between teachers' job satisfaction and job performance.
