Abstract

The study aimed at investigating the relationship between years of teaching experience and job satisfaction of teachers. It is a descriptive correlational survey. The study was guided by four objectives: the distribution of teachers based on teaching experience; the level of job satisfaction among teachers; the relationship between years of teaching experience and the difference in job satisfaction between teachers with less than 10 years of experience and those that have more than 10 years of experience in secondary schools. The population for the study was 384 teachers out of which the sample size of 196 respondents was drawn using systematic random sampling technique. However, 185 filled and returned questionnaires were used in the analysis. Data was collected using a self-designed questionnaire and its validity and reliability were confirmed through computation of the content validity index (CVI) and Cronbach Alpha test which were found to be 0.75 and 0.71 respectively. Mean, Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient, and t-test were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that there exists a relationship between teachers’ years of teaching experience and job satisfaction, and a significant difference exists in job satisfaction between teachers with more than 10 years of experience and those that have 10 and fewer years of experience in secondary schools. The study recommends that government should improve the salary scale for teachers which is necessary to attract, retain and motivate the most valued assets (teachers) required to lead, manage and serve in the educational system for a better nation thereby enhancing their job satisfaction.
