High quality teaching staff is the cornerstone of a successful educational system. Teachers are both the largest cost and the largest human capital resource of an education system, particularly at the school level. Attracting and retaining high quality teachers is thus a primary necessity for schools. However, good teachers are difficult to recruit and almost impossible to retain if the rewards of teaching do not outweigh the possible frustrations on account of poor job conditions.The achievement of quality education rests on the shoulders of teachers who need appropriate motivation to produces the desired educational productivity. The main goal of this study is to identify factors that affect job satisfaction of teachers working in senior secondary schools. The study has been carried out in Delhi and NCR. Sample of 250 teachers were taken from 12 different schools, data has been collected with the help of questionnaire and Chi Square test has been applied. Findings of the study revealed that career planning, feeling of participation, promotion, relationship with colleagues, work-life balance are important strategies which give job satisfaction to teachers. Schools should focus on improving the work environment and organizational factors to enhance the job satisfaction among teachers. Job satisfaction of teachers is multi-dimensional and in order to raise it, efforts need to be made by all the concerned parties, particularly the principal, the management of the school, government agencies, etc.
