Job satisfaction of women extension personnel: A study from Kerala

Job satisfaction is an important factor affecting the job performance of employees in an organization. For achieving organizational effectiveness, it plays a crucial role. In this study, an attempt has been made to analyze the level of job satisfaction of women extension personnel in Kerala. Three districts were selected for the study. From each district 20 Agricultural Offices, 40 Agricultural Assistants and 10 VFPCK personnel were selected. Thus, a sample of 210 respondents was studied. Job satisfaction was measured with the scale developed for the study. Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA for job satisfaction showed that job satisfaction level among Agricultural Officers, Agricultural Assistants and VFPCK staffs were significantly different from each other. Further two-way analysis using Friedman test showed that there was a statistically significant difference regarding different aspects of job for all the three groups.
