The study was quantitative and correlational research design was used. The population of the study were secondary school teachers of three districts of the Punjab, Pakistan including Nankana Sahib, Sheikhupura and Lahore. A sample of 480 teachers were selected through stratified sampling technique. The results show that there is a positive relationship exists between teacher’s participation in decision-making and school climate. The key finding of the study is that teachers were generally satisfied with their job, although they feel dissatisfied with certain aspects of their work such as the working conditions, the opportunities for career growth and advancement and the general lack of variety in the work.
