Abstract
The study compared job satisfaction of teachers in
government and non-governmental junior secondary schools in
Monze Urban District of Southern Province, Zambia. A
descriptive research design was used for the study. The sample
comprised of 90 teachers that were randomly selected using
simple random sampling technique from the nine junior
secondary schools. Ten (10) teachers were selected per school and
this brought the total study sample to ninety (n=90). Data
collected was analysed using SPSS version 23. From the research
findings, it was evident that teachers were satisfied with the work
itself, working relationship, supervision and the working
environment but were not satisfied with the incentive pay and the
working conditions. The study also showed a significant
difference in job satisfaction between teachers in government
and private schools with respect to work itself and supervision,
and between teachers in government and mission schools with
respect to working relationship. It was therefore recommended
that the Ministry of General Education, District Education
Boards, school proprietors and managers ensure that fringe
benefits such as housing allowance, transport allowance,
beneficiary tuition allowance and working conditions are
improved in order to enhance job satisfaction of teachers.
