Abstract

The success and downfall of man's existence is based on how he works effectively. If he appreciates what he does, with all the knowledge and proficiency he has, there will not be even a single reason for him not to succeed. The study aimed to determine the job satisfaction of teachers and its relationship to their students' achievement and teachers' performance. Specifically, it attempted to determine the extent of job satisfaction as experienced by the teachers in terms of educational qualification, technical preparedness, supervision, interpersonal relationship, salary, job status, physical resources ; and financial resources as well as achievement, recognition, promotion, work output; professional growth and responsibility; It also determined the level of work success of the teachers in terms of students' achievement and teachers' performance; determine whether there is a significant relationship between the job satisfaction of teachers' work success in terms of their students' achievement and performance; and determine whether there is a significant relationship between the job satisfaction and teachers' work success in terms of their students' achievement and performance. Results of the study showed that job satisfaction is related to teachers' job status and interpersonal relationship; financial and the physical resources of the school and supervision. The salary did not gain the majority of responses in any level. Most of the teachers however responded that they are satisfied with their salary. In the job satisfaction , majority of the teachers responded that they are much satisfied with their work and responsibility. Furthermore, the teachers are satisfied with achievement, promotion, and professional growth; and unsatisfied with their recognition and supervision. Regarding the work success of the teachers in terms of their students' achievement, majority of the teachers have students with satisfactory rating. A very satisfactory rating was noted in the teaching performance of teachers. No significant relationship existed between Job satisfaction and work success of the teachers in terms of students' achievement and teachers' performance. However, when the factors are taken singly, the interpersonal relationship is the best predictor for teachers' performance and job status for the students' achievement. Further result of the study revealed that job satisfaction was significantly related to teachers' work success in terms of student achievement and teachers' performance.
