Abstract: This research was conducted to study the association between job satisfaction and the wellbeing of secondary school teachers from Gilgit, Pakistan. A total of 167 teachers (89 males and 78 females) from both private and public schools were recruited for this study. A job satisfaction survey by Spector was administered to participants along with World Health Organization (WHO) wellbeing index. Results showed that teachers’ job satisfaction (pay, promotion, fringe benefits, contingent rewards, operating conditions, coworkers, nature of work, and communication) was significantly and positively related to their wellbeing. Teachers from public schools have higher job satisfaction and wellbeing as compared to teachers from private schools. Stepwise regression analysis indicated that after controlling the job sector their level of job satisfaction in terms of communication independently predicted their wellbeing.
