摘要:In this era of constant changes and highly competitive environment, school effectiveness is considered as a determinant of successful organization. In order to ensure the success of the school systems and educational policies to be implemented smoothly, schools need motivated and satisfied teachers who are secured in their job and who are able to perform their duties to a high standard. On the other hand, constant monitoring in teachers‘execution of new policies in curricula, assessment teaching and learning may reduce their sense of motivation, efficacy and job satisfaction. Furthermore, literature noted that teaching is considered a high stress profession. Hence, to what extent, teachers are satisfied with their job and having less stress? Therefore, this study was intended to investigate the relationship between perceived stress and job satisfaction among teachers in Kuala Lumpur. There were about 77 secondary school teachers participated in this study. The result indicated that majority of the teachers perceived moderate stress level towards their students and time management. Nonetheless, they also felt moderate satisfaction with their job. The finding also revealed that there was a moderate relationship between perceived stress and job satisfaction. This paper also addresses several practical implications and future research direction.
