A Comparative Study Of Job Satisfaction Of Science Teachers

The role of a science teacher is significant in the teaching process. A committed and job-satisfied teacher is helpful in the academic achievement of science students. One important factor that has a major impact on the performance of teachers and the quality of instruction is their level of job satisfaction. Throughout their professional careers, teachers face many challenges.

This study aimed to find science teachers’ job satisfaction at FGEI Cantt./Garrison institutes. In this study, several factors that can impact teachers’ job satisfaction have been explored. The job satisfaction of science teachers was found using an adapted questionnaire. The sample comprised male and female science teachers of FGEI Cantt./Garrison schools from Rawalpindi Cantt.

In this study, a comparison of science teachers’ job satisfaction was made based on gender. It was found that there was a slight mean difference between the job satisfaction of science teachers, i.e., class 9th male teachers were more satisfied as compared to class 9th female teachers, and class 10th female teachers were more satisfied as compared to class 10th male teachers.

Corrective measures are necessary to increase the job satisfaction of science teachers. The findings have significant implications for all stakeholders in the educational setup. Authorities should consider the findings of researchers so that science teachers may feel more satisfied with their jobs. This will, in turn, be reflected in the results of students.
