Job satisfaction among educators: A systematic review

Abstract

This systematic review of literature examined the emergent scientific literature relating to job satisfaction among educators. It is believed to provide administrators and educational leaders an overall view of educator’s job satisfaction and its related factors based on the synthesis and findings of studies across the globe for the past half decade. The findings revealed that empirical studies on job satisfaction among educators mainly focused on self-efficacy and job performance. Thus, there is a need to explore several related factors such as relationship, internal and external factors and theoretical development on job satisfaction. Therefore, it’s the researcher’s hope that future studies can explore related factors on educator’s job satisfaction thereby enriching and augmenting effectiveness and efficiency at work to better guide educational management, supervision and leadership.
