Abstract
Education outcomes depend on the quality and effectiveness of their workers.
Teachers who are satisfied with their jobs perform their duties effectively and
efficiently. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between job
satisfaction and teachers’ performance in secondary schools in Gulu district. A
total of 174 secondary school teachers in Gulu district were selected as respondents
of the study, and a descriptive correlation design was used to see the
relationship of the variables in eight sample secondary schools in the district. Data
was analysed using person’s correlation with the help of SPSS software to obtain
the values. The findings indicate that there is a high correlation between job
satisfaction and teachers’ performance, which shows that high job satisfaction
contributes to high teachers’ performance. The study concludes that there is a
significant relationship between job satisfaction and teachers’ performance. Based
on the findings and conclusions, the research recommends that the government
should strengthen and harmonise teachers’ pay for them to gain higher
satisfaction on the job. Secondly, teachers should be housed within the school to boost
their job satisfaction, and lastly, teachers should be treated equally without bias.
Thirdly, the Ministry of Education and Sports should make policies, programs, and
projects for secondary school teachers to enhance job satisfaction and performance
towards quality education.
