Job Satisfaction among B-School Teachers: A Study in Private Management Institutions in Bhubaneswar

Education is the foundation for the progress of any society, whereas teachers are its pillars. If teachers are satisfied, they would produce the students who will shoulder the responsibility of taking their nation ahead. Thus, job satisfaction in organisations has been receiving increasing attention, because it reduces employee turnover, absenteeism, tardiness and health setbacks due to stress. This study was designed to determine the factors affecting job satisfaction among B-school teachers in private management institutions in Bhubaneswar, Orissa. A total of 153 respondents were selected randomly to collect the required information. The result of the study showed that job satisfaction in B-school teachers was significantly dependent on the factors like pay, working environment, relationship with colleagues, relationship with superiors, support for research and growth and development opportunity, whereas job security, fringe benefits, autonomy and recognition of personal achievements were not significantly related to job satisfaction. Thus, there is a need to address the concerns of B-school teachers on issues related to job satisfaction for attracting and retaining high-quality teachers in order to improve the performances of management institutions as well as quality education.
