Abstract

This study aimed to describe the relationship between job performance and job satisfaction of high school agriculture teachers in the Manzini region. The study's main objective was to describe the relationship between job performance and job satisfaction of high school agriculture teachers. The study utilized a descriptive survey research design and a stratified proportionate simple random sampling technique. A questionnaire, validated by three experts, was used for data collection. The Cronbach Alpha reliability method was used to estimate a reliability coefficient. The data was collected from 94 of 123 agriculture teachers, indicating a retrieval rate of 76.9%. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used for data computation, while the real limit of numbers and Pearson product-moment correlation were used for data analysis. It was found that there is a positive, significant relationship between job satisfaction and job performance of high school agriculture teachers in the Manzini region. Key factors influencing job satisfaction included supportive administration, positive relationships with students, and opportunities for professional growth. Effective instructional practices, student engagement, and community engagement were identified as indicators of high job performance. Among others, continuous monitoring of the relationship between job satisfaction and performance is recommended.
