LIFE SATISFACTION IN RELATION TO JOB SATISFACTION AMONG TEACHERS WORKING IN SELF-FINANCED COLLEGES

The current study examines the relationship between life satisfaction and job satisfaction among teachers working in self-financed colleges. A descriptive and correlational research design was adopted. Data were collected from a randomly selected sample of teachers using standardized tools. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between life satisfaction and job satisfaction, while t-test and ANOVA were employed to examine differences across selected demographic variables. Life Satisfaction of self-financed college teachers was affected by Job Satisfaction, Nature of Job and gender of self-financed college teachers. Thus, it can be said that Job Satisfaction, and gender of self-financed college teachers are the key determinants of Life Satisfaction and play important role in the Life Satisfaction of Self-Financed College Teachers. The findings revealed a positive and significant correlation between life satisfaction and job satisfaction. Significant differences were also observed on certain demographic variables. The study highlights the importance of improving job-related conditions to enhance teachers’ overall life satisfaction.
