Private schools have surpassed public schools in Nigeria at all levels in terms of numbers and performance outcomes, yet their teachers' job satisfaction has been an issue of concern. This study, therefore, modeled the perceived motivational techniques adopted and their relationship with teachers' job satisfaction. The non-experimental survey design was adopted. Two hundred and fifty participants were randomly selected from a population of 700. The researcher-designed questionnaires called motivational techniques, and teachers' job satisfaction scales were used for data collection. Factor analysis was carried out to estimate construct validity, while Cronbach Alpha was used to ascertain the instruments’ internal consistency (r=0.842 & r=0.958).
