Journal Title: BEST : International Journal of Humanities , Arts, Medicine and Sciences ( BEST : IJHAMS ) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Following increasing complaints of Beninese EFL teachers about dissatisfaction towards their profession, the present descriptive qualitative study was set up to explore EFL teachers’ views on job satisfaction in Beninese public secondary schools. Documentary research on job satisfaction and motivation help to pinpoint intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of motivation and teachers’ expectations which are dealt with in the light of public school settings and teachers’ expectations. Data was collected through the means of a two-part questionnaire administered to 100 EFL teachers selected randomly. The analysis of the results indicates that the majority of EFL teachers are dissatisfied with their teaching job. Recognition of teachers’ role and value, extra financial recognition measures as well as the integration of teachers in the decision-making chain has been suggested as the essential levers on which to act to improve teachers’ job satisfaction.
