Ensuring the job satisfaction and motivation of teachers is imperative for maintaining high teaching standards and academic excellence, fostering a positive professional outlook. This empowerment leads to a constructive interrelationship among teachers, ultimately benefiting both individuals and organizations (Shafie, 2021). The study's initial aim was to investigate factors influencing job satisfaction among vernacular schoolteachers in Malacca. To achieve this, specific research objectives were formulated to provide clear direction. Surveys were conducted to gather data from vernacular schoolteachers in Malacca. Subsequently, the collected data underwent thorough analysis using SPSS software, including techniques like correlation and multiple regression analysis. Notably, factors such as Supervision, Pay and Security, Responsibility, and Recognition were assessed for their degree of correlation, ranging from high to moderate. Moreover, aspects of teachers' job performance, including the Teaching-Learning Process, Pupils’ Outcomes, and Professional Development, exhibited significant and positive correlations with job satisfaction among vernacular schoolteachers in Malacca.
