Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, Teacher Performance, Secondary SchoolAbstract
Teacher job satisfaction has been widely recognized as a crucial factor influencing organizational commitment and performance in educational institutions. This study investigates the effect of job satisfaction on organizational commitment and teacher performance among secondary school teachers in District Jhang, Pakistan. A quantitative descriptive research design was employed, and data was collected from 130 teachers using self-developed Likert-scale questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA were used to analyze the collected data. Findings revealed that professional qualifications and teaching experience significantly influence job satisfaction and organizational commitment. However, gender and area (urban/rural) did not significantly affect teachers' performance. Results indicate strong positive associations among job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and teachers’ performance. The study highlights the importance of school support, recognition, and professional development in enhancing teachers’ outcomes.
