Job Satisfaction Among Secondary School Teachers

This study reveals contribution of sex, age, level of education, pay, and medium of instruction of secondary school teachers to their job satisfaction. A sample of 100 teachers, half males and half females, was administered Job Descriptive Index (JDI) (Smith, Kendall, & Hulin, 1969) as a measure of respondent's job satisfaction. Results show that factors of age, sex, level of education. monthly income and medium of instruction do not lead to statistically significant differences in overall job satisfaction of school teachers. However, male teachers appeared to be more satisfied with their pay than female teachers. Work, supervision, and people contribute more toward job satisfaction of school teachers than the factors of pay and promotion.
