The Role of Reward in Teachers’ Job Satisfaction Towards Job Performance: A Literature Review
Abstract
Job satisfaction significantly influences teachers' commitment, productivity, and their decision to remain in the field of education. The growing trend of early retirement among teachers in Malaysia, as well as their transition to other professions, highlights a potential issue within the educational sector. This emphasizes the importance of understanding the factors contributing to teachers' job satisfaction. This paper aims to analyse the specific ways in which reward factors can amplify teachers' satisfaction, drawing on previous research to explore the effects and correlations between rewards and job satisfaction. The study begins by emphasizing the significance of job satisfaction among teachers in educational institutions. It observes that when teachers receive rewards and recognition tailored to their individual needs and preferences, it can significantly enhance their overall job satisfaction.
