To collect the data, the Family Assessment Instrument Questionnaire (FAD) by Epstein et al. (1983), the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) by Weiss et al. (1967), and the Job Security Questionnaire (JSQ) by Nisi et al. (2008), were used to collect the data. Pearson correlation coefficient and Structural Equation Modeling using SPSS – IBM 22 and Smart PLS 3 were run to analyze the data. <strong>Results:</strong> Job satisfaction was positively associated with family functioning and its subscales. Job security was significantly positively associated with general family functioning and its subscales. Eventually, the results of structural equation modeling indicated that general family functioning was positively associated with job security (p<.05), but it did not have any significant association with job satisfaction. <strong>Conclusion:</strong>  It is concluded that family functioning has a unique effect on the job security of female teachers, but it does not have a significant effect on satisfaction. family functioning Job Security job satisfaction Female Teachers https://jhrs.uma.ac.ir/article_2899_fca0848d1554b07fdc7adc7bfdc33dce.pdf
