A comparative study of job satisfaction among government and private school teachers of Chandigarh

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate and distinguish job satisfaction levels between government and private teachers in Chandigarh. A total of 200 (n-200) teachers from government and private schools in Chandigarh were selected through random sampling techniques. These participants were then categorized into two groups: newly recruited teachers with less than 5 years of experience (n-100), and teachers with 5 or more years of experience (n-100). The Teacher's Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, developed by Dr. Mrs. Nasrin and Dr. Afshan Annes in 2017, was utilized for data collection. Mean, SD, and ‘t’-value were computed to determine the significance of differences between the two groups, with a significance level set at 0.05. Experienced government and private teachers exhibited significant difference, as indicated by the findings. Conversely, new public and private teachers with less than 5 years of experience displayed insignificant difference.
