Job satisfaction has been
linked to various teacher’s
characteristics including
commitment, absenteeism,
turnover, efficiency and
productivity. A Job
satisfaction level among
teachers has been low due to
many factors. The purpose of
this study was to
investigate teacher related
factors that influence job
satisfaction levels in
public secondary schools in
Mombasa District of Kenya.
The study used a descriptive
research design. The study
was undertaken in 35 public
secondary schools using a
sample of 320 teachers which
was selected using
stratified random sampling
technique. Data were
collected using
questionnaires. Data were
analyzed using inferential
statistics. Hypotheses were
tested at alpha level of
0.05. Results of the
hypotheses indicated that
there was no significant
relationship between job
satisfaction of teachers and
the demographic variables of
gender, age, marital status,
academic qualification and
professional grade.
Significant relationship was
found between job
satisfaction levels and
variables of age and
teaching experience.
