This study aims to examine teachers' perceptions of technological efficacy and job satisfaction and the relationships between them from a holistic perspective according to teachers' views. Within the scope of the research, a study was conducted on 293 teachers selected from the central districts of Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan, by the convenience sampling method. "Technology Self-Efficacy" and "Minnesota Job Satisfaction" scales developed by Wang, Ertmer and Newby (1999) were used to measure teachers' self-efficacy perceptions towards technology. The study showed that teachers' internal job satisfaction was high, external job satisfaction, general job satisfaction, and technological competence perceptions were moderate. Teachers' job satisfaction varies according to gender and professional seniority. The internal job satisfaction of female teachers was found to be high; however, it was concluded that as professional seniority increased, external job satisfaction increased. In the study, it was concluded that teachers' perceptions of technological efficacy decrease with increasing seniority. In addition, male teachers' perceptions of technological efficacy were higher than their female colleagues. Finally, the study found significant relationships between teachers' technological competencies and job satisfaction.
