| Summary: | This study was done to examine the mediation roles of work family enrichment (WFE)
on the relationship between lifelong learning and job satisfaction among public primary
and secondary school teachers in Malaysia involved in the ‘Hadiah Latihan
Persekutuan’ (HLP) programme for the year 2018. By giving attention towards the
importance of job satisfaction among this group of teachers, the study tested lifelong
learning on teachers’ job satisfaction. Lifelong learning consists of several dimensions
which are motivation, improving knowledge and skills, and career development. The
study used a survey design through the distribution of questionnaires to collect data
from the respondents. A probability simple random sampling method was employed to
get data from 350 public primary and secondary school teachers in the HLP programme
for the study. A total of 234 questionnaires were returned and deemed useable for the
data analysis procedure in this study. The research method used was quantitative for the
analysis purposes through SEM and IBM SPSS. Descriptive statistical analysis,
reliability analysis, and factor analysis were performed using the SPSS tool. Meanwhile,
the analysis of moment structure (AMOS) was used to produce the measurement model,
structural equation model, and to test the research hypotheses. Generally, the study
contributes to the literature by enhancing the concept of job satisfaction specifically to
the teachers’ work scope as well as exposure to the effect of research factors towards
teachers’ job satisfaction. Apart from that, the study contributes to improving the
methods of the study in the human resource area. Findings from the study revealed that
lifelong learning significantly and directly affects teachers’ job satisfaction. In terms of
mediator variable, the study found that work family enrichment (WFE) mediate the
relationship between lifelong learning and job satisfaction. Finally, the study purposely
contributes to the body of knowledge for job satisfaction in the public education sector
focusing on the HLP programme for public primary and secondary school teachers in
Malaysia. |
