Job Satisfaction as Determinant of Life Satisfaction AmongSecondary School Teachers in Karachi

Abstract

The present research aimed at investigating the job satisfaction (JS) as determinants of life satisfaction (LS) among secondary school teachers (SSTs). It was hypothesized that JS (pay, promotion, supervision, fringe benefits, contingents reward, operating procedures, co-workers, nature of work and communication) would significantly determine LS in SSTs. A total of two hundred teachers (n=200) were selected conveniently from secondary schools. Personal Information Form, Job Satisfaction Survey and Satisfaction with Life Scale were used for examining the variables. Regression analysis was used to investigate the hypothesis. Results revealed that JS is a significant determinant of LS among SSTs in Karachi. Further the implications of the study are also discussed.
