Assessing the Influence of School Environment on Teaching Motivation and Satisfaction in Sundarban's Primary Education Sector

The school environment plays a critical role in shaping the motivation and job satisfaction of teachers, particularly in geographically and socio-economically unique regions like the Sundarbans. This study explores the relationship between various environmental factors such as infrastructure, administrative support, community engagement, and student behavior—and their impact on teaching motivation and satisfaction among primary school educators in the Sundarban region of India. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews with teachers across multiple primary schools, the research identifies key elements of the school setting that enhance or hinder teachers’ professional commitment and sense of fulfillment. The findings highlight the importance of supportive leadership, adequate facilities, and community involvement in fostering a positive educational atmosphere. This study aims to inform policymakers and educational planners on improving rural education quality by prioritizing teacher-centric interventions within the school environment.
