Differences in job satisfaction of male and female teachers in private and public secondary schools

Positive feelings about one’s work are referred to as job satisfaction. On the other hand, a bad attitude regarding one's employment is job discontent. In mainstream research, studies on work satisfaction are commonplace. There have been thousands of research done all around the world. Teachers at secondary schools in Pakistan are taking the lead in conducting research on work satisfaction, despite the fact that this field is still underutilized. The current study’s goal was to find out how satisfied male and female instructors were with their jobs in Bahawalpur, Pakistan’s private and public secondary schools. Teachers employed at Pakistan’s public and private schools in Bahawalpur were the study’s targeted demographic, which was chosen for this cross-sectional quantitative investigation. Random sampling was used in the selection of the research sample. There were five hundred male and female secondary school teachers in the final sample. The survey was self-administered using a 36-item structured questionnaire by good docs. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in the data analysis to examine the collected information. The participants were categorized based on their age, gender, experience, qualifications, and type of institution (public vs. private) in order to determine the difference in work satisfactions using one-way ANOVA and an independent sample t-test. The findings showed that compared to male instructors, female teachers had higher levels of satisfaction. The research investigated that different public and private school teachers' work satisfactions are based on factors including age, experience, and qualifications. The research findings may not be applicable to other school districts and a sizable population living in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. The author selected a broad sample of teachers (male/female) from public and private schools. The current study was to characterize the elements that lead to teacher satisfaction and discontent among secondary school instructors in Bahawalpur, Pakistan.
