  • Abstract:
  • Job satisfaction can be described as favourable feelings and emotions of employees that make them comfortable at the workplace. Job satisfaction is unimaginably interrelated with a number of other teaching -learning factors such as working atmosphere, freedom, salary, space of creativity, equality, appreciation, type of working institute, possibility of promotion, etc. The act of teaching is also not an exception to it. The present study was conducted to investigate the role and difference between male and female teachers (gender) as well as and private and public school (type of school) in defining job satisfaction. The research work was descriptive in nature and a standardised tool: “Teachers Job satisfaction Scale” was used to collect data. The data were collected from 60 teachers (3 teachers from every school) selected from 10 public secondary schools and 10 Private secondary schools of one taluk belonging to one of the districts in Karnataka. The findings were subtracted after the descriptive and inferential analysis. Statistical techniques such as Means, Standard Deviation and 't' test, were employed to test the hypotheses. The study was successful in rationalising that Male teachers were more satisfied than their Female colleagues with regard to their jobs and workplace. There was no significant difference between private school and public-school teachers' job satisfaction.
