Education sector is one of the cornerstone of the society which acts as the foundation for the next generation. It builds up the young minds and molds them to reach their full potentials. And the ones who do this are the teachers. But what happens when the teachers, who bear the burden of channeling the youth, are not satisfied with their jobs? We know that a displeased employee hinders proper growth and development of an organization. But if the stakes are not just limited to the organization, but affects the society at large, what then? Though Job Satisfaction is a widely researched area for various professions, but in India very few studies has been explored in this concept especially on the Hierarchical Levels of the Educational Sectors in Kolkata. This study hopes to introduce a new perspective and sheds new light into the job satisfaction levels of education sector, thus taking us closer to identifying problems there, if any, and help move towards solutions, to maintain and improve the satisfaction levels in this area, which will ultimately lead towards a better and brighter tomorrow for all.

Abstract


Education sector is one of the cornerstone of the society which acts as the foundation for the next generation. It builds up the young minds and molds them to reach their full potentials. And the ones who do this are the teachers. But what happens when the teachers, who bear the burden of channeling the youth, are not satisfied with their jobs? We know that a displeased employee hinders proper growth and development of an organization. But if the stakes are not just limited to the organization, but affects the society at large, what then? Though Job Satisfaction is a widely researched area for various professions, but in India very few studies has been explored in this concept especially on the Hierarchical Levels of the Educational Sectors in Kolkata. This study hopes to introduce a new perspective and sheds new light into the job satisfaction levels of education sector, thus taking us closer to identifying problems there, if any, and help move towards solutions, to maintain and improve the satisfaction levels in this area, which will ultimately lead towards a better and brighter tomorrow for all.
