This study investigated the factors influencing job satisfaction among teacher educators. A quantitative correlational research design was employed to identify key determinants, examine demographic characteristics, and propose strategies for enhancement. Seventy-four teacher educators participated, providing data through questionnaires. Findings revealed that salary, incentives, work-life balance, and interpersonal relations were significant determinants of job satisfaction. Academic qualifications and work experience exhibited negative correlations with organizational policies, autonomy, and promotion-related factors. The study underscores the need for tailored interventions to address the unique concerns of mid-career educators, particularly regarding compensation, career advancement, and work-life balance. It suggests the development of personalized professional development programs and human resource policies that consider educators’ career stages and specific needs. Further research in this area is recommended.
