Abstract :

Life satisfaction is highly needed for any professional satisfaction. The present study was initiated through descriptive survey method within ex–post–facto research design to explore the life satisfaction of the teachers. To collect the data “Purpose in Life (PIL)” test was administered on a stratified random sample comprising of 363 male and 234 female teachers selected from 30 Government / Government aided Secondary / Higher Secondary schools of West Bengal, India. The test has 20 scaled Likert type sentences stems each with 7 response alternatives ranging from 1 (low purpose) to 7 (high purpose). Descriptive terms are used as anchors for the extreme points 1 and 7, and position number 4 is considered as neutral. According to the manual of the test higher scores reflect a greater sense of life satisfaction. The result shows that the mean and standard deviation of PIL scores were 106.75 and 13.399 respectively. Here the mean (106.75) was much higher than the ambivalent score (4×20= 80). This may explain that on an average the teachers were somewhat satisfied with their lives – they might have a greater sense of “purpose in life” and might tend to have stronger believes in the significance of their own existences and behaviours.
