Abstract

This research investigated the levels of job satisfaction among primary school principals in Ahafo Ano North Municipality. Utilizing a descriptive research framework and quantitative techniques, the study encompassed all primary school principals in the area. Data was gathered from 134 principals using a census survey and analyzed through descriptive statistics and the independent samples t-test. Findings indicated a general dissatisfaction among the principals with their roles. While gender did not significantly affect job satisfaction levels, the school's location did. However, the grade level of the school had no significant impact. The study also identified that factors such as increased allowances, promotion opportunities, infrastructure improvements, covering training costs, and effective feedback could enhance principals' job satisfaction. Therefore, it's recommended for various stakeholders, including government and educational bodies, to address these dissatisfaction factors and consider disciplinary aspects for improved educational outcomes and student upbringing. Future research should expand beyond Ahafo Ano North Municipality to include different regions.
