In this study, the Herzberg's two-Factor theory for the creation of a suitable model and framework for the research regarding the teacher's job satisfaction. Additionally, this paper also aims to provide future suggestions circulating this matter. This matter holds a relatively high significance where thorough examination and documentation conducted.
