Satisfaction and attitude are two important psychological traits of human beings. Satisfaction refers to the emotional gratification that comes from accomplishing one's professional or personal goals, while attitude is the inclination to react favorably or unfavorably to a specific thing, person, or circumstance. Literature suggests that job satisfaction and attitude have a bilateral relationship, with both influencing each other. Without a positive attitude, no one can perform well in their profession. In this context, the purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between job satisfaction and attitude. This study employed a quantitative design. A survey method was used to collect the required data, utilizing an attitude scale and a job satisfaction scale as data collection tools. Two independent samples, one from Nepal and the other from India, each consisting of 75 schoolteachers selected through random sampling, were used to triangulate the results. Data was analyzed using SPSS. In Nepal, job satisfaction and attitude were found to be significantly correlated at the 0.01 level of significance, with a correlation coefficient of .490. For the Indian sample, the correlation coefficient was .681, and the analysis showed a similarly significant correlation at the 0.01 level of significance. The correlation coefficient is slightly higher in the Indian sample than in the Nepali sample, but both results indicate a similar relationship between job satisfaction and attitude. This correlational analysis indicates that a person's attitude is directly dependent on their level of job satisfaction. To improve employees' attitudes toward their profession, concerned authorities should enhance job satisfaction by reviewing and improving the facilities provided to them.
