Abstract

This study explores the impact of educational Structure on job satisfaction in North Shoa Oromia Regional State Zone and District education office employees. An exploratory qualitative case study approach was used. Because it was a sensitive and timely issue as well as contextual to the case. Data was collected through in-depth interviews using semi-structured questions and document analysis. Ten key informant interviewees were purposefully selected for the sample of the study. The audio-recorded data was transcribed and translated, coded, thematically merged, and filtered using a Microsoft Word and Excel spreadsheet for the preparation of analysis and discussion. The study findings showed that an organizational climate and education structure negatively affected employees' job satisfaction directly by structure, leadership behavior, and external pressure identified. The implementation of JEG benefits less experienced, lack of educational opportunities, and structural and teacher licensing urgent problems. Low challenges in office were investigated, the value of education was neglected and forgotten, and the generation was left unsupported in how they needed to be supported and the enrollment of students decreased at the NSORS Zone and district level. The study has drawn conclusions and the implications of the research will be addressed that the Ministry of Education and Oromia Education Bureau should pay attention to solving the problem of zone and district education offices in restructuring, supplying facilities, placing skilled leaders, and minimizing political pressure to save the generation.
