Personnel Management Practice And Teachers Job Satisfaction
[A CASE STUDY OF ILORIN SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF SECONDARY SCHOOL, KWARA STATE.]

Kalu (2000), also conducted a study on welfare services on staff productivity. He concluded that where staffs are not satisfied with welfare services provided for them, the quality of teaching and learning  are affected. Ajayi (1996) stated categorically that employees  expect services and security programmes from their employer which will aid their job satisfaction and this will enable  them to perform excellently on the job.
    A study carried out by Bolarinwa (1994), indicated that 59.22% of teachers interviewed  said that  they are ashamed to called teachers. “Z.8.82% expressed the view that if given the opportunity to start  their career lives afresh, they would not go for teaching and 83.35% indicated  that they were not satisfied  with the teaching profession. From all these findings, it becomes clear that there is a low percentage  of teachers who could be said to have job satisfaction. Since the future of any country  depends on the quality  of its educational system, which in turn depends on the quality of its teachers, it becomes imperative that great attention is paid to procuring teachers of the right quality  and quantity  in addition to ensuring their job satisfaction and even ensuring their retention in the secondary level of the job educational system.
Job Satisfaction and Students’ Academic Achievement
A secondary school level of education is made up of various grades of staff of different  academic  and  professional qualifications, of different  orientation and background. These differs distinctly  in their degree of expectations and motivation. More than ever before, parents, guardian, government and those individuals who are directly or  indirectly connected with education want assurance that the end result of educational system, that is the educational output  (graduated  students) are beneficial both to themselves and the society at large. If overall school improvement is the primary goal of educational system in this country, then teacher job satisfaction should be of paramount  importance. If teachers have job satisfaction, this will boost their morale  and there will be zeal to perform excellently  which will aid high academic achievement of students, hence the need to research  into teacher job satisfaction as it relates to students general educational achievement in this crucial period of the national educational development. This  issue of job satisfaction and work performance has been of interest to the  individual, educators and researchers. Mayo e tal (1988), said  that men seek satisfaction in their work not only for economic needs but also needs for social kind of acceptance, approval, recognition, status and so on. In a research finding by Akinlaiyan (1983), it was shown that higher level of job satisfaction is an essential  ingredient  for organizational outcome.
