Abstract: Education is the backbone of every country and it plays significant role in sustainable economic development. For establishing knowledge based economy, teachers play key role. This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect the job satisfaction of the teachers in Pakistan. The researchers employed mixed methodology, where questionnaire based survey and semistructured interviews were conducted to yield the data. Furthermore, structural equation modelling was applied to test the hypothesized relationships. The results revealed that job security, salary, relationship with colleagues and relationship with management are the key determinant of job satisfaction. In addition, researchers noted that most of the teachers from private schools are dissatisfied from their jobs due to unsecured job and low salary package. Further, the teachers from government schools have unhappier relationships with management, while fruitful relationships with colleagues. Moreover, the research implications, limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.
