ABSTRACT

of teaching is well related with the satisfaction of the teachers towards their job.

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.
