Job satisfaction and motivation correlatedsignificantly with responsibility levels, gender, subject, age, years ofteaching experience, and activity. For this group of teachers who work in aschool with a selective student body, overall motivation and job satisfactionlevels were high. Based upon the findings, it appears that gratifica- tionof  higher-order needs is most importantfor job satisfaction.
