Abstract
The importance of organisational support is increasingly being recognized because of its potential positive influence on
employee performance. However, studies that seek to investigate the influence of organisational support on the teachers’ job
satisfaction and consequently their workplace performance at high school level have largely remained scant, particularly in
developing countries of Southern Africa. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to fill this void. Three research
hypotheses are posited and a sample data of 162 collected from the Limpopo Province of South Africa is used to empirically
test the hypotheses. The results of this study show that, organisational support positively influences teachers’job satisfaction
and their job performance. Managerial implications of the findings are discussed and limitations and future research directions
are indicated.
