for checking whether a person’s happiness with his job . Significant for every institution to
be aware job satisfaction level of their employees as success of their institutions is
dependent to a great extent on the satisfaction level of employees. Satisfaction refers to
individual elements of one's job, like as salary, growth prospects, physical environment,
working hours, so on and so forth.
Teachers plays an important role in shaping the society and promoting the causes of peace in
different classes. In ancient India, 'Teacher' or 'Guru' was called a spiritual leader and was
looked upon as an ideal in the society. He was the leader of the society and even a 'King'
came to him for guidance.
In any society, a teacher has a very respectable place. He is the source of morality and ideals
and regulator of life values. The teacher must be an embodiment of eternal values. Values
that remain the same, however much the circumstances may change. Truth, love and
goodness are values that are admired across creeds, cultures and religions.
The teacher should be a sheet anchor to society amidst the tumult of social change. 'Being a
teacher', he is to be a change agent transforming ideas into ideals and ideals into institutions
which may spread the light of knowledge and wisdom into eternity. It is the teacher who
helps to transform an individual into a person of imagination, wisdom, human-love and
enlightenment; the institutions into lamp-posts for posterity; and the country into a
learning society. It is fortunate for us to have been born in a country of great teachers like
Mahaveer, Buddha, Shankara, Ramanuja and Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the
father of Indian nation.
A teacher should always be fair in his dealings with students, a sense that a teacher treats all
students equally, that he does not show favour to any student for reasons of caste, sex,
relationship with influential people or any other consideration. Fair dealing with students is
a very important point, particularly in case of co-education. This is because many teachers
show a lenient attitude towards girls. Students, whether boys or girls, should be equally and
fairly treated.

The question of uprightness is very significant for any teacher. A teacher not only imparts
knowledge which a bright student in any case can get directly from books, he also presents a
role model before the students. Students come to a teacher after the classroom to seek
guidance, normally regarding the subject matter in hand but often on non-academic matters
also. The student believes that, because of his scholarship as well as his comparative
maturity, the teacher can put him on the right path.
Teacher and student relation is very significant. A student can really learn from a teacher
only when he commands his respect, and if he wishes to have his respect, he has to be worthy
of it. One of the important preconditions for commanding the respect of students is upright
behavior.
Job satisfaction is a main component of organisational climate and an important element in
management-employee relationship. Job satisfaction is an emotional state, occurs when a
person's job seems to fulfil important job values. Job satisfaction is an individual's reaction
to the job itself which is emotional in nature. It reflects person's attitude to the job.
Job satisfaction is not easy to define because by nature it is an intangible, usable,
unobservable variable and a complex assemblage of cognitions and emotional feelings and
such other behavioural tendencies. According to the opinion of P.C. Smith job satisfaction
is the feeling towards distrainable aspects related to job situation.
