Factors Influencing The Job Satisfaction Of Teachers In Model Schools

Abstract

Job satisfaction can be defined as an employee’s attitude towards the job.   The feeling of pleasure and achievement that one experiences in his/her job when he/she knows that his/her work is worth doing, or the degree to which the work gives him/her this feeling. Job satisfaction is the result of various attitudes possessed by an employee. In a narrow sense, these attitudes are related to the job and are concerned with specific factors such as wages, supervision and steadiness of employment, conditions of work, opportunities for advancement, recognition of ability, fair settlement of grievances, fair evaluation of work, fair treatment by employer and other similar factors. Teachers play a crucial role in achieving the educational objectives. The teachers who are satisfied in their profession would certainly contribute for the well-being of their students. The role performance of the teachers would be high, if they are satisfied in their jobs. Further, the job satisfaction of teachers would improve the academic performance of the students.
