A descriptive and correlational research design was used to collect data from 50 teachers purposively selected from 6 secondary schools Kampala. SPSS software was used to analyse the data. The study findings showed a strong positive correlation between CSR engagement and employee job satisfaction (r = 0.65, p < 0.01). In addition, the regression analysis conducted showed community outreach as the predictive power of CSR engagement on job satisfaction (R² = 0.45, p < 0.01).
