Description
Summary:Secondary school is essential for Pakistan to improve its human, sociopolitical and economic resources. Apparently, the quality of education depends on education leaders, particularly secondary school teachers. An effective head of department in a secondary school involves the teachers in decision-making and helps them achieve their job satisfaction. Despite its importance, this idea is insufficiently discussed by secondary school teachers in Pakistan. This thesis examines the relationship between school leadership styles, motivation factors, performance appraisal and job satisfaction in a specific context of secondary school teachers in Pakistan. A quantitative-based on cross-sectional research design was used in this thesis. Data was collected from 662 secondary school teachers using survey instruments through stratified random sampling. SPSS version-25 and Smart PLS-SEM-3 were administered to analyze data. Results show a moderate level of teachers’ job satisfaction. Further results reveal that the leadership style, motivation factors, and performance appraisal are positive and significantly related to teachers’ job satisfaction. Moreover, this study indicates that leadership style, motivation factors and performance appraisal are paramount to teachers’ job satisfaction. It was concluded that teachers’ job satisfaction can be improved through leadership style, motivation factors and performance appraisal. Moreover, this study reveals that leadership style, motivation factors and performance appraisal are paramount to teachers’ job satisfaction. The study is beneficial for the policy-makers to adopt new techniques and strategies for the development of secondary school education.
