This study aims to evaluate the levels of knowledge and job satisfaction among educators in maritime education and training institutions in Malaysia (MET). Validated questionnaires were employed to assess job satisfaction and knowledge management among MET educators, including various aspects of knowledge management such as creation, capture, sharing, distribution, acquisition, and application. Additionally, factors contributing to job satisfaction, including motivation and hygiene, were investigated to achieve the study's objectives. The results indicate that instructors in maritime institutions demonstrate a high level of proficiency in all components of knowledge management, with a high level of job satisfaction reported among the participants. The analysis reveals a moderate but significant relationship between knowledge management and job satisfaction, which is beneficial for the professional development of teaching staff in maritime institutions. Furthermore, the Ministry of Higher Education can use these findings to evaluate how educators in maritime institutions enhance knowledge management to meet job satisfaction standards and make informed decisions regarding structural improvements.
