Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance among senior secondary school teachers in Kano State. An ex-post facto research design was employed. The population of the study comprised all teachers in Kano State Senior Secondary Schools. Through cluster sampling techniques, three hundred and sixty-eight (368) samples were randomly selected. Job satisfaction and job performance questionnaires were adapted and administered for data collection. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and t-test for independent samples, aided by SPSS version 15. Results revealed a positive correlation between job satisfaction and job performance. Additionally, gender was found to account for differences in job performance, while no significant difference was observed between gender and job satisfaction. Recommendations include that educational authorities should prioritize teachers’ job satisfaction to enhance performance
