This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Work-Family Conflict and Job Satisfaction among school teachers by exploring the moderating influence of family support. The research employed several instruments, including a Demographic sheet, the Job Satisfaction Scale, a multidimensional scale of perceived social support, and a work-family conflict scale. This study employed a correlational research design to fulfill its objectives, with data collection conducted through convenient purposive sampling methods from school teachers. The findings revealed a negative association between Work-Family Conflict and Job Satisfaction, indicating that higher conflict levels were linked to decreased job satisfaction among teachers. Additionally, Family support demonstrated a positive correlation with Job Satisfaction, underscoring its importance in enhancing teachers' job satisfaction. Moreover, family support was identified as a moderator in the relationship between Work-Family Conflict and Job Satisfaction, indicating its role in alleviating the negative impact of work-family conflict on job satisfaction. In order to improve teachers' job satisfaction and general well-being, educational institutions should think about putting strategies in place to support a healthy work-family balance for their faculty members. These findings should be considered by policymakers as they develop measures to uphold the teaching profession and guarantee educators' job satisfaction.
