Abstract

This study investigates job satisfaction among Special Education Integration Programme (PPKI) teachers in Perak, Malaysia, using Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 240 PPKI teachers through questionnaires. Participants were selected using cluster sampling followed by simple random sampling. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to assess intrinsic and extrinsic factors in shaping job satisfaction. Results indicated a high level of satisfaction across both dimensions, suggesting that teachers feel appreciated, supported, and engaged in their roles. These findings offer valuable insights for the State Education Department, emphasizing the importance of teacher motivation and strategic initiatives at both school and departmental levels to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the education system.
