Job satisfaction is always inter-linked with performance. If teachers are satisfied with their job, they will be more involved in and committed to their profession. Satisfied teachers teach the students with passion and devotion to get the maximum results from the students. Employees’ satisfaction increases their commitment, creativity and production for their employers.
