Abstract

Education plays an important role in improving the quality of human resources, making teachers’ job satisfaction an essential factor in supporting the quality of educational services. This study aimed to analyze the influence of discipline development and physical work environment on teachers’ job satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously. The study employed a quantitative method with an explanatory research approach. The population consisted of all 37 permanent foundation-employed teachers, and total sampling was applied. Data were collected through questionnaires using a semantic differential scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics 27. The findings revealed that discipline development and physical work environment had positive and significant effects on job satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously. In addition, both independent variables explained 72.5% of the variation in job satisfaction. The study concludes that improving discipline development and enhancing the physical work environment can increase teachers’ job satisfaction and support the improvement of educational service quality at the school.
