Abstract: 
The impact of organizational communication on teachers' job satisfaction is a relevant topic for educational research, as it can provide insights into how to improve the quality of teaching and learning in schools. This study aims to explore the relationship between different dimensions of organizational communication and teachers' job satisfaction, based on a literature review of previous studies in this field. The literature review covers the following aspects: the definition and measurement of organizational communication and job satisfaction, the theoretical frameworks and models that explain the link between them, the empirical evidence and findings from various contexts and levels of education, and the implications and recommendations for practice and future research. The study  combined a descriptive and an analytical approach, and exploited secondary data from already published sources. The main findings suggest that organizational communication has a positive and significant impact on teachers' job satisfaction, especially when it is characterized by clarity, openness, feedback, involvement, leadership, and school climate. However, there are also some challenges and limitations that need to be addressed, such as the diversity of communication styles, the complexity of communication channels, the influence of individual and organizational factors, and the need for more rigorous and comprehensive research methods. The study concludes with some suggestions for improving organizational communication and enhancing teachers' job satisfaction in higher education institutions.
