Abstract: This descriptive survey research design study determined the indices of job satisfaction among electrical/electronic teachers in technical colleges in Enugu State. Two research questions and two null hypothesis guided the study. A total of 9.907 teachers from 322 technical colleges in Enugu State were used as population size. Out of this, a sample size of 991 (279 males and 712 females) were randomly selected using multi-stage sampling technique Instrument for data collection was Indices of Job Satisfaction among Teachers Rating Scale (IJSTRS). The instrument was face validated by three experts. It was trial tested using 20 electrical/electronic teachers in technical colleges in Enugu State and its internal consistency was ascertained using Cronbach Alpha co-efficient statistical method. The result gave overall alpha-co-efficient value of 0.93. Mean, standard deviation and t-test were used as statistical tools to analyze the data collected. The major findings revealed that financial incentives and communication style constitute parts of job satisfaction to a great extent among electrical/electronic teachers. It was found that there is no significant difference between the mean rating scores of male and female electrical/electronic teachers in technical colleges on financial incentives and communication style with regards to job satisfaction. Based on these findings, some educational implications were highlighted and recommendations made.
