Agamani Mondal, Birbal Saha

Abstract :

In the developed world teacher job satisfaction has been an issue of concern for many years. It may manifest itself in frustration for the teacher and defense mechanisms for the employer. Research suggests that unfulfilled needs, goals, and value expectations, as well as the lack of achievement of outcomes, account for job dissatisfaction. Other variables include demography, disillusionment with life, lack of participation in decision–making, and absence of considerate leader behavior It is believe that when teachers perceive a lack of support for their work, they are not motivated to do their best in the classroom, and that when teachers are not satisfied with their working conditions, they are more likely to change schools or to leave the profession altogether. This article tries to through some rays on the factors of dissatisfaction with respect to teaching job and made some recommendation how to minimize these factors.
