dc.description	The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that are associated with teachers’ job satisfaction and motivation. The study was carried out in Kwimba District in Mwanza Region. The study had the following objectives: To identify the kind of job satisfaction and motivation aspects that teachers are most satisfied with working in Public Secondary Schools in Kwimba, to determine whether teachers differ in their job satisfaction and motivation in relation to the type of school and school location in Kwimba district and to determine the job satisfaction and motivation factors that contribute significantly to teachers’ intentions to remain on the job. The findings revealed significant differences in teachers’ job satisfaction and motivation in relation to the type of school and allocation but there are no significant differences in relation to marital status, teaching experiences and teaching types. However, there were no significant differences in relation to marital status, teaching experience, teacher type and promotional position in all the five core job dimensions. Moreover, the stepwise regression model revealed that the meaningfulness of the job and job characteristics dimensions contributed significantly to the teachers’ intention to remain in the job. Lastly, the correlation Pearson (r) revealed that there is a significant relationship between job satisfaction and motivation and the five job dimensions: job characteristics, social benefits, meaningfulness of the job and support from administration. These findings are both consistent and inconsistent with the previous researchers’ findings. The study concluded that job satisfaction and motivation should be enhanced through improving working environment, salaries, administrative supporting Kwimba district, Tanzania and other countries.
