Teachers play a crucial role in society. They serve as an important workforce in every community. They can dramatically impact the degree and quality of learning of the students. Considering the significant functions they perform worldwide, factors that influenced their job satisfaction was explored in this research. This study involves 75 teachers, ages 20 to 55 years old from the School of Saint Anthony in Lagro, Quezon City. The researchers examined the factors that motivate teachers to work in school. Another purpose of this study is to analyze how to improve the job satisfaction of teachers. The result of the survey revealed that the factors that can motivate and influence the teachers in their job satisfaction are working with the students, colleagues, a good working environment, fringe benefits, and salary. The findings of this research study support the view of Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Frederick Herzberg’s Two Factory Theory. The findings revealed that external rewards like the salary and working environment are not the main motivating factors for teachers to work in school. Rather, the result suggests that teachers are intrinsically motivated. Their job satisfaction came from realizing the higher level of psychological needs such as the nature of the work itself, responsibility, achievement, recognition, and advancement.
