THE JOB SATISFACTION OF EDUCATORS IN DEVELOPING NATIONS - A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The purpose of this research project is to identify, investigate, and evaluate the variables influencing teachers’ and teacher educators’ satisfaction with their jobs in developing nations. The research articles for this study were gathered and chosen using the literature review as a guide. This study contained the research papers that were mixed, quantitative, and qualitative. Numerous criteria, including those related to demographics and socioeconomics, possibilities for advancement, equitable compensation, a positive work environment, support from the community, coworkers, and friendships, were shown to be similar in determining teachers’ job satisfaction. The primary causes of job discontent were determined to be administration and management mistrust, a non-transparent system, an unbalanced work-life schedule, a dysfunctional teaching and learning environment, a lack of resources, and meddling from governing bodies and pressure organizations.
