Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate how teachers' job satisfaction affects school performance
in government secondary schools in Addis Ababa's Kirkos Sub-City. The research framework
considered both intrinsic and extrinsic variables from Herzberg’s motivation-Hygiene theory,
addresses both motivation and job satisfaction. Using a quantitative approach with descriptive
and inferential statistics, including percentage and mean analysis, as well as correlational
techniques, the study employed an explanatory research design. Data collection involved
distributing questionnaires to195 participants, resulting in a response rate of 95.59%, with 195
completed responses returned. Respondents used a 5-point Likert scale to indicate their
satisfaction levels. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Science
(SPSS). Results from Pearson coefficients and multiple regression analysis revealed insights into
how independent variables influence employee job satisfaction and its impact on school
performance. The findings underscore the significance of factors such as school policy, personal
and professional growth, work conditions, student success, and the nature of work or work itself,
salary, and recognition in shaping teachers' job satisfaction, with statistically significant effects
observed. Furthermore, the analysis indicates a notable positive correlation between teachers'
job satisfaction and school performance.
