Exploring the Nexus between Teacher Job Satisfaction and Students' Learning Achievement

Abstract

Teacher job satisfaction is linked to factors like safety conditions, student achievement, and turnover rates. Studies show that teachers with higher satisfaction perform better. Organizational justice, culture, and administrative decision-making also impact satisfaction. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the relationship between teacher job satisfaction and student achievement, leading researchers to explore this connection through empirical studies.This investigation aimed to explore the link between teachers’ job satisfaction and student’s learning achievement in secondary schools. This study uses a systematic review to collect, evaluate, and synthesize relevant research. It summarizes and analyzes data from various perspectives. The process includes identifying key documents, reviewing the literature, and categorizing findings. After screening based on set criteria, the most relevant information is extracted. The results showed a strong, positive correlation between the tests. Most studies found that teacher job satisfaction is closely linked to student achievement, though some reported a negative relationship. In nutshell, highly satisfied teachers put more effort into student success by teaching effectively and offering personalized support. This review highlights the importance of prioritizing teacher satisfaction for a successful education system. Most studies indicate that TJS positively impacts student achievement. While some research shows a consistent link between TJS and SLA. These studies are fewer compared to those confirming a strong positive effect. Factors influencing TJS include work environment, stress, coworker relationships, working conditions, attitudes, and recognition. However, only classroom equipment and class size have been proven to improve both TJS and student success.
