Abstract:

This study investigates the determinants of teachers’ job satisfaction by examining the effects of work motivation, interpersonal communication, and organizational climate among private school teachers in Pamulang District. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method. Data were collected from private school teachers using structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression. The results indicate that work motivation has a significant positive effect on teachers’ job satisfaction, suggesting that higher levels of achievement needs, recognition, responsibility, and self-development contribute to greater job satisfaction. Interpersonal communication also has a significant positive influence, underscoring the importance of effective interaction among teachers, school leaders, and colleagues in creating a supportive working environment. Furthermore, organizational climate significantly affects job satisfaction, demonstrating that clear roles, supportive leadership, adequate work facilitation, and a warm organizational atmosphere enhance teachers’ sense of well-being and professional fulfilment. Simultaneously, work motivation, interpersonal communication, and organizational climate collectively have a strong and significant impact on teachers’ job satisfaction. These findings imply that school management should prioritize strategies to strengthen teachers’ motivation, improve communication, and foster a positive organizational climate to enhance job satisfaction and overall school performance. This study contributes to the field of educational management by providing empirical evidence on key factors influencing job satisfaction among private school teachers.
