- Abstract
Teaching is perhaps the most important profession in the society. The well-being of today's teachers affects the well-being of society tomorrow. Unless the well-being of individual teachers is improved, standards of education and that of the educational experience of young people will suffer with far-reaching financial, economic and social consequences for the nation. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between well-being and job satisfaction among government and private school teachers. The sample of this study comprised of N=100 teachers (50 from government and 50 from private school). Age ranged between 25 and 58 years. The sample was randomly chosen. Well-being of the respondents were measured with the help of a well-known psychological well-being scale developed by Bhogle and Prakash (1995). The differences in the obtained data were analyzed by using t test and the relationship was analyzed using Pearson's correlation. Significant differences emerged in the well-being and job satisfaction among government and private school teachers.
