The high rate of education quality in Oman is attributed to the enhanced professional development that has brought a range of merits to both, the students and the education service providers in Oman. The efficient learning environment in Oman is a result of a teacher development that has not occurred overnight but was caused by the cumulative growth of quality teachers through a qualitative training program. While the provision of a conducive teaching and learning environment is necessary for teachers on their part, teachers have to impact the school morale by motivating the learners positively. Indeed, this type of motivation can be credited to the pre-service training that the teachers in Oman get to position their learners properly for them to be imparted with the correct knowledge, skills, beliefs, and attitudes. Moreover, teachers have to be satisfied with their work to focus on enhancing their skills and expertise. Consequently, this paper seeks to discuss job satisfaction among teachers in Oman.
