Abstract
The study entitled “Job satisfaction of government school teachers of Ludhiana district” was undertaken with objectives to study different job components of government school teachers, their level of job satisfaction, interrelationship among profile of the teacher, job component and their level of job satisfaction and to seek suggestions to enhance the level of job satisfaction. The study was conducted in two rural blocks Doraha and Pakkowal, and in two urban zones Ludhiana-east and Ludhiana-west of Ludhiana district of Punjab. Results of the study revealed that majority of the respondents had medium level of job satisfaction. It was found that ‘feeling of achievement’ was most important dimension of intrinsic (motivation) factor and ‘social status attached to job’ was the most important dimension of extrinsic (hygiene) factor. Age, education level, family size and total service experience in case of urban school teachers had significant positive correlation with job satisfaction while in case of rural school teachers, only education level was significantly positively correlated with job satisfaction. Family occupation and designation of rural school teachers had significant association with job satisfaction. Whereas in urban area, school teachers had significant association between job satisfaction and family type, family occupation and designation. ‘Promotion to next class on the basis of students performance’ was the important suggestion to improve job satisfaction followed by ‘filling up vacant posts’ and ‘provision of power backup in the school’.
