Teachers were asked to complete questionnaires about their level of satisfaction regarding reward. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze all reward variables. The analyses of the study show that all reward variables are positively and significantly related with job satisfaction. The regression analysis show the magnitude of variation on job satisfaction by intrinsic and extrinsic reward is expressed in percentage of 24.5% and 41.7% respectively. The result also shows that extrinsic reward cause significant variation on employees’ job satisfaction than intrinsic reward. In general the study indicate that reward has positive effect on teachers’ job satisfaction and some reward variables like compensation which matters more but currently at lower level of satisfaction has to be improved in order to enhance teaching professionals job satisfaction. From qualitative analysis its find out that other factors like education opportunity, politics free environment, society awareness and good working environment are areas that need greater emphasis concerning enhancement of teachers’ job satisfaction.
