A Study of Job Satisfaction of Teachers in relation to their Gender and Qualification

This paper discusses secondary school teachers' work satisfaction. The main aim was to (i) compare the mean job satisfaction levels of male and female instructors. (ii) to compare the mean job satisfaction scores of graduated teachers with teachers with advanced degrees. The null hypotheses were that (i) there is no difference between male and female instructors' mean work satisfaction scores. (ii) There is difference between graduate and highly qualified teachers' mean work satisfaction scores. 189 randomly chosen teachers from 18 government schools in the Jalandhar District made up the sample. Dixit job satisfaction was used for assessing secondary school teachers’ job satisfaction. The data were analysed statistically using the t-test. When the work satisfaction scores of male and female instructors were compared, no significant difference was there. Also, when with highly educated and graduates were studied, there was no significant difference in the degree of their satisfaction.
