The main objective of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of affective commitment on the relationship between job satisfaction and teachers’ job performance in Yobe State. Two hypotheses were formulated for testing. The study design used in this research is a survey design.

Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) i.e. Pls3. The questionnaire items were all reported to have some degree of dependability and legitimacy. The results failed to support both the direct and the indirect null hypotheses revealing the empirical evidence that job satisfaction has significant effect on teachers’ job performance.
