Abstract
Job satisfaction of teachers and educational administrators are vital to effective implementation of inclusive Creative Arts curriculum. Teachers’ performance could be influenced by their level of Job satisfaction. However, Creative arts Teachers do not have adequate financial and material supports for inclusive education. This study examined teachers’ job satisfaction and how it affects the implementation of inclusive Creative Arts curriculum. In this study, the descriptive research method with a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire consisting 20 items was used. Census with disproportionate stratified sampling technique was employed to sample 226 teachers in
Offinso Municipality, Ghana. The study was underpinned by Maslow’s theory of human needs and Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene theory which posits that motivation factors in an organization have the potential to generate job satisfaction. The study found that 71.7% of teachers are dissatisfied with their job compensation and 73% are dissatisfied with the available teaching logistics needed for the effective implementation of inclusive Creative Arts curriculum. Teachers’ job satisfaction has an impact on inclusive education for all children. Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Government must provide teachers with improved working conditions, logistics, attractive compensations and work incentives.
