More number of the rural school teachers belonged to middle age group (63.34 %), female (63.33 %), completed degree with additional qualification of D.Ed. or B.Ed. (36.00 %), married (90.67 %), rural background (42.00 %), 12-20 years of experience (41.33 %) and attended 1-2 trainings (64.67 %).
Majority of the rural school teachers were in high achievement motivation (78.67 %), low job stress (84.00 %) and had favourable organizational climate (76.67 %). With regard to job satisfaction, seventy per cent of the rural school teachers were in high job satisfaction category followed by medium category (30.00 %). In case of job performance, more number of the respondents belonged to high job performance category (73.33 %) followed by medium category (22.67 %). None of them were in low job satisfaction and performance category.

Less guidance, unnecessary record enquiry, lack of freedom for free discussion with higher officers, difficult to take care of children and family responsibilities were other problems.
