Abstract
This study explored the extent to which demographic, policy, student and community-related factors influence
teachers' job satisfaction and the extent to which teacher efficacy moderates the relationship. The study was conducted
among a sample of 123 primary school teachers in Mombasa. A researcher-developed self-report questionnaire was
administered. Descriptive statistics in the form of percentages, means and frequencies were used for analysis and
presentation. In addition T-test and multiple regression analysis was used to predict relationships between variables.
Demographic variables only influenced job satisfaction when interacting with teacher efficacy. Policy, student and
community-related factors were strong predictors of teacher job satisfaction. It was recommended that deliberate
measures be put in place to improve teacher efficacy, improvements in policies for teachers and positive community
involvement in their children's education
