Abstract
The aim of this paper is to propose a conceptual model that explains the influence of work environment on teachers’ job satisfaction and the moderating role of perceived organisation support on their relationship in public secondary schools in Tanzania. Despite the large number of studies on work environment, none has specifically addressed an integrated relational model of work environment, perceived organisation support, and job satisfaction among teachers in government secondary schools. Regardless of the number of empirical studies on work environment and teachers’ job satisfaction; in developed and developing countries still faces major challenges including non-commitment, high absenteeism rates and many leaving their teaching profession to other jobs. Therefore, this conceptual paper sought to connect concepts of work environment and teachers’ job satisfaction. Specifically, the paper explains concepts of work environment in connections of workplace facilities, professional development, recognition and the moderating role of perceived organization support on teachers’ job satisfaction. The study was conducted through review of literatures of scholarly articles from Google Scholar. The review revealed that there are still inconclusive on the influences of work environment and teachers’ job satisfaction. Thus, this study contributes to the literature by providing such a conceptual model that can be used to study the influence of work environment and teachers’ job satisfaction
