Working School Environment: A Predictor of Job Satisfaction of Teachers

The purpose of the study was to find out how teachers' job satisfaction in Lahore's public secondary schools related to their working environment. The study employed a correlation research design. The random sampling approach was used to select 500 teachers (250 male and 250 female) from 25 boys and 25 girls secondary schools. The School-Level Environment Questionnaire (SLEQ), the Teacher Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (TJSQ), and demographic performance (age, gender, and qualification) were the tools employed in this study. Both inferential (Pearson-product moment correlation, Independent sample t-test, and ANOVA) and descriptive (mean, standard deviation, and frequency) statistics were employed. The main finding, which was based on descriptive and inferential statistics, showed that there was a substantial correlation between teachers' job satisfaction and the working conditions in public secondary schools. The result of the study indicated that there was a significant difference between male and female teachers' perceptions of their working conditions in schools and their level of job satisfaction. The study also revealed that the working school environment and job satisfaction of public secondary school teachers were not significantly correlated with their age or level of degrees.
