This research paper discusses the job satisfaction of teachers in Engineering Colleges at Pudhucherry. Today, there is generally a widespread of engineering education deterioration because of mushroom growth of Engineering Colleges in India. A vast network of mediocre and substandard institutions has sprung up due to unplanned and uncontrolled proliferation of ill equipped; ill provided and inadequately staffed colleges with less salary without concern for quality. At present, in spite of various plans and programmes to improve the conditions of teachers, serious attempts have not been made to identify the factors affecting the Job Satisfaction of teachers in Engineering Colleges for they have great impact on the youth to maximize the profession of Engineering. It becomes necessary to judge the Job Satisfaction of the Engineering College teachers, so as to develop the budding Engineers of the present scenario. To achieve the objectives of the present study, the normative survey method was used. In this study, "Job Satisfaction" is alone taken as the independent variable. Job Satisfaction is analyzed in terms of the present satisfactory conditions of the Engineering College Teachers at Pudhucherry. Based on the Statistical Research, the conclusion of the study says that the present role of Job Satisfaction forms a positively platykurtic distribution, which indicates that there is a greater satisfaction in the present job among the Teachers in Engineering Colleges.

Abstract


This research paper discusses the job satisfaction of teachers in Engineering Colleges at Pudhucherry. Today, there is generally a widespread of engineering education deterioration because of mushroom growth of Engineering Colleges in India. A vast network of mediocre and substandard institutions has sprung up due to unplanned and uncontrolled proliferation of ill equipped; ill provided and inadequately staffed colleges with less salary without concern for quality. At present, in spite of various plans and programmes to improve the conditions of teachers, serious attempts have not been made to identify the factors affecting the Job Satisfaction of teachers in Engineering Colleges for they have great impact on the youth to maximize the profession of Engineering. It becomes necessary to judge the Job Satisfaction of the Engineering College teachers, so as to develop the budding Engineers of the present scenario. To achieve the objectives of the present study, the normative survey method was used. In this study, "Job Satisfaction" is alone taken as the independent variable. Job Satisfaction is analyzed in terms of the present satisfactory conditions of the Engineering College Teachers at Pudhucherry. Based on the Statistical Research, the conclusion of the study says that the present role of Job Satisfaction forms a positively platykurtic distribution, which indicates that there is a greater satisfaction in the present job among the Teachers in Engineering Colleges.
