Abstract

This study investigates the comparative job satisfaction levels among primary school teachers in government and private sectors. Using a quantitative methodology, the research employs a standardized job satisfaction survey administered to a random sample of teachers from both types of institutions. The aim is to identify significant differences in job satisfaction levels and explore factors contributing to these differences. Preliminary findings suggest that there are notable disparities in job satisfaction influenced by factors such as work environment, professional development opportunities, and compensation. This paper discusses the implications of these findings for educational policy and school administration, offering recommendations for enhancing teacher satisfaction and, consequently, educational outcomes. The results underscore the need for targeted interventions that address the specific needs and challenges faced by teachers in different educational settings.
