Abstract

The study explored the influence of HR practices on the job satisfaction of teachers in the Kalulushi District in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. In this cross-sectional study, four dimensions of HR practice namely: Appraisal, Training, Compensation and Planning were used with a total of 100 respondents. The objectives of the study were answered using correlation and regression analysis, and results were also presented using descriptive statistics. All the four dimensions of HR practices were positively related to job satisfaction, with training and development showing the strongest contribution to job satisfaction. Suggestions are made for further research on ways to increase job satisfaction among the employees
