| dc.description.abstract | This study was undertaken to find out secondary school teachers’ level of job
satisfaction in Transmara West District, Kenya. This research adopted a Cross-
sectional design with stratified random sampling technique to select the target
schools. Out of the 16 registered public secondary schools, 130 respondents
were selected from a population of 182 teachers. Data was collected by the use
of questionnaires and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.
The study revealed that majority of secondary school teachers in Transmara
west district were male (62.5%) and that most had professional qualification. It
further revealed that the level of job satisfaction among respondents was very
low. A notable policy implication of these findings was that there was need to
tackle gender parity, implement policies, improve teachers’ salaries and other
fringe benefits in line with the economic trends and inflations and encourage
school principals to increase morale of teachers by recognizing them and
showing appreciation whenever they excel. Finally, teachers’ motivation could
be enhanced if they are given some considerable autonomy and trust. | en_US |
