TEACHING COMPETENCY AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS: A STUDY


One of the major goals of Education is to develop students who are capable of and dedicated to life time learning. This means helping them to understand their goals, needs, interest and problems and the ways of solving them. The teachers become the guides philosophers and counselors. They guide the students to formulate their goals and how to achieve them. The main objective of education is to help the student develop those qualities and abilities that will serve him and the community. Teacher acts as an important formative force in the development of society. It is only a competent teacher who can in some measure be worthy of the trust that is placed on him by society. Therefore it is no doubt to say the teachers of present day have no interest in their profession. The most important points is the lack of recognition of the teachers in the society compared to the doctors, lawyers, police or any other Government servants.  Job satisfaction refers to a person’s feeling of satisfaction with the job, which acts as a motivation to work. Here, it is not merely satisfaction, happiness or self- contentment, but it is always in relation to the job. Job satisfaction is necessarily one “on the job.”
