The data is analysed using correlational analysis and independent sample t-tests. The correlation analysis was used to find the relationship between the two variables and independent sample t- test is conducted to understand gender difference among school teachers with regard to Job Satisfaction and Work-Related Quality of Life. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant positive correlation between Job Satisfaction and Work-Related Quality of Life among school teachers. Additionally, the findings of the study revealed that there is a significant gender difference between the two variables with females experiencing higher Job Satisfaction and Work-Related Quality of Life as compared to males among school teachers. However, limitations include the study's non- generalizability and the absence of detailed information and high-quality subjective responses. Future research is suggested to explore qualitative factors related to the variables, providing an in-depth understanding of intrinsic components. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of the complex relationship between Job Satisfaction, Work-Related Quality of life, and gender differences among school teachers.
