Abstract
This study aims to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and professional engagement of primary school teachers, and examine the differences in this relationship by school type (public/private) and seniority. The results show that this relationship is moderate and stable, and there is no significant difference between groups by school type or seniority. The research results contribute to clarifying the role of job satisfaction in maintaining professional engagement, thereby providing a scientific basis for the management and development of teachers in the context of educational reform.
