Abstract
This study explored the impact of various employment factors—such as the nature of work, salary and benefits, supervision, co-worker relationships, and the working environment—on the job satisfaction of private school teachers. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive survey method, data were gathered through questionnaires and analyzed using percentage, frequency, weighted mean, and chi-square tests. Results revealed that private school teachers were generally satisfied across these key areas, with satisfaction levels increasing among older respondents, likely due to shifting family responsibilities. The study also affirmed that the teaching profession in private institutions is predominantly female. To sustain and enhance teacher satisfaction, the study recommends a multifaceted approach that includes ongoing professional development, recognition programs, improved compensation, flexible work arrangements, and supportive leadership practices that foster open communication and shared decision-making. These measures collectively promote a positive, engaging, and fulfilling work environment conducive to teacher retention and effectiveness.
