This study aims to identify the relationship between job motivation, job stress, and job satisfaction among male teachers in Abu Dhabi. A quantitative exploratory research design was utilized. A total of 208 male teachers were chosen as a sample through a simple random sampling technique. Data analysis using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were used. The finding of multiple regression analysis showed that job motivation had a significant influence on job stress ((?=-.458, p<0.000), job motivation had a significant effect on job satisfaction (?=.391, p<0.000), and job stress had a significant influence on job satisfaction (?=-.281, p<0.000;). The finding further revealed a significant indirect effect of job stress mediating the relationship between job motivation and job satisfaction. In conclusion, job motivation influences job satisfaction, and job motivation negatively affects job stress among Emirati male teachers in Abu Dhabi. The implications of the study indicate that it is essential for the education ministry and school administrator to work on increasing job motivation and managing job stress to attract more males to become a teacher.
