This study uses structural equation modeling (SEM) to dive into the complex relationships between work motivation and job satisfaction among the teachers of higher educational institutes in and around Hyderabad, an Indian Metro. Understanding how these key factors interact in the modern organizational psychology environment is crucial for promoting employee engagement and successful implementation of academics among the higher educational institutes. We use SEM to investigate the complex linkages that underpin work motivation and job satisfaction and how these elements interact with one another. The study makes use of a broad survey instrument and a diversified sample of teachers from different higher educational institutes (HEIs) to capture complex features of work motivation and job satisfaction. The SEM is used to do complex statistical analysis on the obtained data, allowing us to go beyond obvious relationships and reveal underlying patterns of effect. With this analytical strategy, we want to not only confirm pre-existing hypotheses but also identify potential mediating or moderating factors that affect the intricate relationship between job satisfaction and motivation at work. In conclusion, this study uses a structural equation modelling technique a covariance based model to investigate the complex connection between job satisfaction and motivation at work among teachers from HEIs. This study adds to the body of knowledge in organizational psychology by revealing underlying patterns and mechanisms that underlie these dimensions and provides practical advice for fostering supportive work environments and enhancing organizational effectiveness. The results indicate a statistically significant gender differences among the teachers in job motivation and no statistically significant gender difference in work satisfaction. This suggests a statistically significant difference in SEM scores between genders
