ABSTRACT
Job Satisfaction is the amount of overall positive effect (feeling) that individuals have towards their jobs. Since a nation’s progress depends on the quality of education, which in turn depends on the quality of the teachers, the quality of teaching is well related with the satisfaction of the teachers towards their job. The present study was carried out to study the job satisfaction of high school teachers towards their profession. In this study, the investigator took a sample of 75 high school teachers of Sulur Taluk, Coimbatore district in comparison with the different variables: gender, age group, experience, locality, family type, marital status, and distance travelled to their workplace. Normative study method was followed with the help of the questionnaire constructed by the investigator. The study revealed that the job satisfaction showed no variation with other variables except the distance travelled to their working place.
