Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines the factors influencing job satisfaction among Tamil school (SJKT) teachers in the Klang District, Selangor. Drawing from He1, rzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, the study explores the relationship between job satisfaction and four key factors: school environment, compensation and benefits, reward structure, and work commitment. Data were collected through a survey of 488 SJKT teachers using structured questionnaires. Results from multiple regression and correlation analysis reveal significant positive relationships between all independent variables and job satisfaction. The study also finds that age moderates the relationship between school environment and job satisfaction. The findings offer valuable insights for school administrators and policymakers to improve teacher satisfaction and retention.
