Abstract
ABSTRACT This research study aims to explore and analyse the factors influencing job satisfaction among teachers in private schools. Job satisfaction is a critical aspect of the education sector as it directly impacts teaching quality, student outcomes, and the overall functioning of educational institutions. Private schools play a significant role in the educational landscape, and understanding the factors that contribute to the job satisfaction of their teachers can have implications for the recruitment, retention, and professional development of educators. A structured questionnaire will be administered to a representative sample of teachers from various private schools, collecting quantitative data on their demographics, teaching experience, workload, compensation, administrative support, professional development opportunities, and overall job satisfaction. Additionally, semi-structured interviews will be conducted with a subset of teachers to gain deeper insights into their experiences, perceptions, and emotions related to job satisfaction. To undertake this investigation, data was gathered from a diverse sample of 100 respondents representing various segments of society, including employees, private sector workers, students, business professionals, and homemakers. These respondents were invited to provide their assessments on a range of statements. The data amassed was meticulously organized, coded, and subsequently subjected to thorough analysis using statistical tools like chi-square tests, one-way ANOVA, correlation assessments, and frequency tabulations, all facilitated by SPSS software.INTRODUCTION The teaching profession is known for its challenges and rewards. Private schools, in particular, often have unique characteristics that can impact teachersjob satisfaction. These schools might offer smaller class sizes, specialized curricula, and more autonomy in teaching methods. However, they might also have their own set of challenges, including higher expectations from parents, different administrative structures, and potentially varying compensation models. On the other hand, dissatisfied teachers might experience burnout, reduced performance, and even turnover, negatively affecting the overall quality of education provided by the school
