Abstract

The present study reports Job Satisfaction (JS) of male and female teachers with different levels of age working in government and private secondary schools. Teachers' Job Satisfaction Scale developed by Sudha and Sathyanarayana (1981) was employed to study JS. Results revealed that there was no difference in JS of teachers working in different school types. However, sex and age significantly influenced the JS of the teachers. Also female teachers were found to have higher JS compared to male teachers.
