| Abstract | Oklahoma City Public Schools have battled teacher shortage issues for nearly two decades. Although previous research suggests that teacher attrition and retention correlates with a teacher's perception of overall job satisfaction, there is insufficient understanding of teachers' circumstances for leaving the Oklahoma City Public Schools district and the job satisfaction variables that led to their resignation. If policy makers and school leaders were better informed of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence teacher job satisfaction within school districts, such as Oklahoma City Public Schools, then administrators might be better equipped to meet the needs of teachers, and thus reduce teacher attrition and inform how best to create conditions to attract new educators into the system. Therefore, the purpose of this descriptive, single case study was to explore how teachers, formerly employed by a large school district, describe their experience of job satisfaction. Using the Herzberg, Mausner, and Snyderman's Motivation-Hygiene Theory (a/k/a Two-Factor Theory), this study sought to answer the following central research question: How do teachers, who recently resigned from Oklahoma City Public Schools, describe intrinsic and extrinsic variables that influence job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction? Two-factor theory suggests that an individual's job satisfaction is influenced by two factors: motivators or factors that contribute to one's intrinsic growth and hygienes or factors that contribute to one's extrinsic growth. This case study found: (a) OKCPS teachers are deprived of professional recognition and respect, (b) OKCPS teachers are overwhelmed with responsibility, (c) OKCPS teachers' greatest achievement is finding success in their students, (d) OKCPS teachers find motivation in the work itself, (e) OKCPS teachers value interpersonal relationships and organizational communication, (f) OKCPS teachers are grossly underpaid; but money is not a motivator, (g) OKCPS teachers are dissatisfied over district policies, (h) OKCPS fosters a non-supportive working environment for teachers, and (i) OKCPS teachers believe the State of Oklahoma has failed them. From these findings, this study concluded that the research participants experienced low motivation and low hygiene as former teachers and employees of Oklahoma City Public Schools.
