dc.description.abstract	This study sought to assess the relationships among teachers' self awareness, self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Teachers of three high schools in Bahir Dar were subjects of the study. The results of this study showed positive correlation among the variables under consideration. Teachers who were low self-efficacious and high efficacious were compared and differed statistically significant in the level of job satisfaction. The high self-efficacious teachers were more satisfied with their job. Again, teachers were also compared with their self-awareness. Those teachers who were both reflective and ruminative differed ) significantly in their job satisfaction from those teachers who were neither reflective nor ruminative. Other findings of this study showed that the teachers were found to have low level of job satisfaction or tend to have higher degree of dissatisfaction. At the same time most of the teachers were found to have low self-awareness and self-efficacy. Therefore, improving teachers self- awareness and self-efficacy could be one possible point of emphasis but not remedy to their low level of job satisfaction. Hygiene factors were the main contributors to teachers' low job satisfaction. The schools, communities, and the government should work in coordination and in collaboration for the improvement of teachers' job satisfaction. Because teachers are the immediate models of students to help them develop qualities such as high self-efficacy and good level of self-awareness. Helping teachers could improve these important inputs of learning which could pay many folds to the schools in particular and to the educational sector in general.	en_US
