Job satisfaction level of private school teachers in chakpikarong sub-division, chandel district, manipur

As teaching is a dignified and challenging profession, the effective teaching mostly depends on the teacher’s professional qualification, experience, attitude and motivational level in terms of job satisfaction. Since people join the teaching profession as the last alternative when all efforts to get into other professions have unsuccessful, teachers in most school system are not satisfied with their jobs. The degree of dissatisfaction in teaching job generally is high in private schools where there is lack of service protection besides giving a stumpy salary. The present study is a humble investigation to estimate the job satisfaction level of private school teachers, and to confirm whether differences exist in the level of job satisfaction among male and female teachers working in private schools in a remote, purely rural, economically very weak and educationally very backward sub-division of a hilly district in Manipur. Interestingly, the study detects a high job satisfaction among the teachers and more favourably to female teachers.
