This study demonstrates how teachers generally feel about their workload, managerial assistance, working conditions, job security, and pay and incentives. The study finds a strong and beneficial correlation between pay and incentive, working condition, management support, and job security, whereas there is no correlation exists between job satisfaction and workload.
