Recent research statistics has shown that job satisfaction as a discipline is cuffing across all
sectors of the economy. Kenyans cannot afford to complacent about it, thus their arise an
immediate need to conduct an investigation on the issue of job satisfaction among the teachers

better understanding of the role and impact of job satisfaction on performance of female
students in Dandora primary school, Embakasi Division, Nairobi. The method chosen allowed

completeness and consistency across the respondents and to locate omissions. Information
obtained from the research study was presented and analyzed using bar charts, narratives, and
statistical figures. The findings indicated that job description leads to employee
motivation which in turn leads to efficiency of the female employees in the
school. It was further found out that management of the school do not adequately
describe the jobs of the female teachers and this has a bearing effect on their performance.

meant to do in regard to their jobs and it recommended that such organizations should
clearly describe jobs to employees in order to improve their attitude towards their jobs and
make them more efficient
