This was based on the analysis which showed that promotion increases sense of responsibility of teachers, makes teachers feel reliable for greater responsibility, stimulates eagerness to work, increases teachers commitment, inculcate positive attitude towards work, and creates a sense of career growth among teachers. 

More so, the findings in table 4.4 disclosed that recognition influences business studies teachers’ job satisfaction, as recognition enhances teachers enthusiasm to work, makes teachers feel proud of their efforts, teachers get to feel appreciated through recognition, increases teachers productivity, teachers get to feel  the sense of belonging through recognition, and it motivates teachers to go extra-mile.

In table 4.5, the findings discovered that fringe benefits also influences teachers job satisfaction. This justified upon the result shown by the analysis above that fringe benefits creates avidity to work among teachers, increases teachers morale to work,  drive or arouse a stimulus to work, increases teachers performance, increases the level of workers engagement and involvement, and increases teachers passion and enthusiasm which lead to increase in output.

The first hypothesis on table 4.6; the correlation between promotion(P) and job satisfaction of business studies teachers(JSBST) indicated that there is a positive significant relationship between promotion(P) and job satisfaction of business studies teachers(JSBST). Pearson correlation coefficient, r, value of 0.821 was positive and statistically significant at (p< 0.000).

The second hypothesis on table 4.7; the correlation between recognition(R) and job satisfaction of business studies teachers(JSBST) indicated that there is a positive significant relationship between recognition(R) and job satisfaction of business studies teachers(JSBST). Pearson correlation coefficient, r, value of 0.888 was positive and statistically significant at (p< 0.000).

The third hypothesis on table 4.8; the correlation between fringe benefits(FB) and job satisfaction of business studies teachers(JSBST) indicated that there is a positive significant relationship between fringe benefits(FB) and job satisfaction of business studies teachers(JSBST). Pearson correlation coefficient, r, value of 0.901 was positive and statistically significant at (p< 0.000).
