Abstract:
This paper examines the ‘aftermath effect’ of the new civil service pay pol icy on job satisfaction among the teachers in Ghana. The study found that
income, personal growth, bonus and organizational type had both direct and
indirect effects on job satisfaction. The two-way analysis, as well as the multi variate analysis of variance, indicated that gender, age group, and educational
background also played a role in determining the level of satisfaction among
the teachers. The high unemployment rate (11%) and the implementation of
the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) for the public sector in 2010 are
also contributing factors to the retention of teachers.
