The sample consisted of 105 teachers from two primary schools in the area of PKG Ketereh, Kelantan. Workload questionnaire adapted from previous studies by Shukri (1998), consisted of six dimensions of workload namely the task of teaching in the classroom, curriculum, student welfare, management and supervision, and clerical, and special tasks outside the school. While job satisfaction survey was taken from the Minnesota
Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) and the Job Descriptive Index (JDI) was adapted from the Bahari study (1997), containing 16 items of job
satisfaction, was used to collect data. The reliability of the instrument was measured using the Cronbach's Alpha. After a pilot study was made, Cronbach's Alpha reliability analysis showed that the workload level was 0.97 and the level of job satisfaction was. 0.82. The findings of this study were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)
version 12.0. In this study, descriptive statistics analysis was used to examine the workload and job satisfaction. Pearson correlation tests were used to investigate the relationship between each dimension of workload
and job satisfaction. The test results showed that the workload of teachers was moderate, while the level of job satisfaction was high. Pearson correlation test showed a significant negative correlation between each dimension of workload and job satisfaction. Based on the findings, researchers recommend that the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the school board to make the distribution of academic and non-teaching duties in a fair basis to teachers so that they are not overloaded and will not
affect the main task of teaching. MOE also requested a study to increase the number of teachers, reduce the minimum number of students in a classroom and provide overtime allowance for teachers who are working outside of school hours, to lighten and ease the workload and improve teachers' performance
