Abstract	The purpose of this study was to explore general job satisfaction of elementary school head teachers in Pakistan with respect to their age and gender. One hundred and eighty head teachers were sampled from government elementary schools of Toba Tek Singh, Punjab, Pakistan, to collect the relevant data using a modified version of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Significant differences based on age and gender were found among the head teachers' level of job satisfaction. Younger and older head teachers were found to be significantly more satisfied than the middle-aged head teachers. Female head teachers were found to be significantly more satisfied than their male counterparts. This article explores a range of job satisfaction issues in terms of age and gender and identifies implications for practice, policy and further research. (Contains 4 tables.) (As Provided).
