Analyzing the Role of Digital Competency in Enhancing Job Satisfaction Among Secondary School Teachers

Abstract

This research explores the role of digital competency in enhancing job satisfaction among secondary school teachers. As the integration of digital technologies becomes increasingly important in education, teachers’ ability to effectively use these tools can significantly influence their teaching efficacy, job satisfaction, and overall well-being. The study investigates how digital skills impact teachers' morale, reduce stress, and improve engagement with students. The literature review identifies key factors influencing job satisfaction in education and examines the direct and indirect effects of digital competency on teachers’ professional satisfaction. Barriers such as lack of training, limited resources, and resistance to change are also discussed, highlighting the challenges that teachers face in developing digital skills. The findings suggest that enhancing digital competency can improve teaching efficiency, reduce stress, and increase job satisfaction, but overcoming the challenges of training and resource availability is crucial for widespread adoption.
