  ABSTRACT: This study assessed the influence of LMX and PSM on teacher job satisfaction in Ghanaian secondary schools. The study sampled senior high school teachers currently teaching in the Greater Accra, Ghana. Greater Accra Region was chosen because it has the largest and most populous senior high schools in Ghana. A questionnaire was given to 200 teachers with the purpose of gauging their levels of public service motivation (PSM), leader-member exchange (LMX), and work satisfaction. The study employed correlation, linear and multiple regressions to examine the relationship between LMX and PSM and work satisfaction. The multiple regression analysis conducted revealed that LMX, PSM Comp and PSM SS had a positive and significant effect on teacher job satisfaction. These findings show that head teachers in public senior high schools should place a premium on developing excellent working relationships with their subordinates while striving to retain teachers’ engagement and commitment to their schools.
