Findings revealed that there is a positive relationship between delegation and job satisfaction that is indicated by 0.743 which is statistically significant at 0.000<0.01 and the coefficient of determination (Adjusted R2 ) value of 0.545 implies that 54.5% of the variation in job satisfaction of teachers can be explained by the level of task allocation, responsibility assignment and power position.
