teachers training institute were purposely selected which were 69 male and 6 female
teachers. Percentages, t-tests, correlation and regression techniques of data analysis methods
were employed to analyze quantitative data and thematic narration were used to interpret
qualitative data. The result disclosed that teachers' state of job satisfaction, work motivation
and commitment were low, but their job performance evaluation score indicates that, they are
relatively good; the social and psychological conditions exert a strong influence on the levels
of performance, job satisfaction and even on the mental health of teachers. The study also
disclosed that there was a positive relationship among teachers' job satisfaction, work
motivation and commitment, but there was no significant relationship with their job
performance; Hence teachers job satisfaction, motivation and commitment did not predict
their job performance, so all predictors had less contribution to their job performance.

those factors which contributes to teachers absence of job satisfaction, lose of work
motivation and commitment. In addition school leaders should practice good leadership
styles and design appropriate strategy of teachers 'job performance assessments.
