A Study on Guwahati City Secondary School Teachers’ Job Burnout

Present study is descriptive in nature, investigates the level of Job Satisfaction of Teacher Educators working in Private B.Ed. Colleges and affiliated to Gauhati University and Private B.Ed. College, Dibrugarh University. A sample of forty teacher educators was chosen and standardized tool (Teacher Job Satisfaction Questionnaire- TJSQ) was used to collect relevant data. Majority of the teacher educators working in Private B.Ed. Colleges under both the Universities have shown low level (68.50% Gauhati University, 62.25% Dibrugarh University) of Job Satisfaction or they are less satisfied with their jobs. Whereas, more than thirty percent (31.50% G.U, 33.75% D.U) teacher educators have shown high level of Job Satisfaction which is less in number as compare to that of low level. The t-value was calculated as 1.97, which is ‘not significant’ at both the levels of confidence (0.01 & .05 levels). Therefore as per the null hypothesis that : there is no significant difference in level of Job Satisfaction among the teacher educators of Private B.Ed. Colleges affiliated to Gauhati University and Dibrugarh University, Assam was accepted. It can be concluded that there was a slight difference of two percent in high level and of six percent (not significant) in low level of Job Satisfaction among teacher educators working in Private B.Ed. Colleges, may be due to some inter-personal reasons. All teacher educators of Private B.Ed. Colleges have shown near about equal type and level of Job Satisfaction.
