The findings of the study showed that ongoing teachers are personally motivated so they are satisfied with their job but drop out teacher are personally less motivated so they are dissatisfied with their job. Furthermore, findings of this research suggest that not only female English teachers but also other concern authority and guardian should have positive thoughts towards the female teacher job satisfaction.
