A Comparative Study of Job Satisfaction among College Teachers

Abstract

To educate or impart knowledge to others is an immensely honorable task. Despite limited income and minimal facilities, teachers derive great satisfaction from their profession, for it is in their hands to shape the future of children and to guide the nation toward progress. If teachers are fully dedicated to their profession, they will continue to devote themselves wholeheartedly to this noble service of the nation. However, if they do not receive adequate satisfaction from their work, it may adversely affect the quality of their teaching. Therefore, teachers’ job satisfaction is a matter of national concern and must be thoughtfully addressed in the interest of the nation, so that those who prepare the future generations may also receive due justice and recognition. With this understanding, the researcher has attempted to examine the level of job satisfaction among teachers and to explore the issues they face in the present changing circumstances.
