College Teachers are the most important group of professionals for our country’s future. Hence, it is amazing to know that even today many of the college teachers are dissatisfied with their jobs. Job satisfaction among college teachers is good not only for themselves but society as a whole. It increases productivity and classroom performance in the college. Wellbeing of any society depends on the role played by the teacher. Teachers are the source of guidance in all the vital steps in the academic life of the students. When teachers are satisfied with their job they can perform their responsibilities with more concentration and dedication. For the same reason a study was undertaken to identify the factors which impact the level of satisfaction of government college teachers in Thiruvarur district. The primary data were collected through personal interviews in the form of questionnaire from a sample of 70 college teachers selected from the 2 Government Colleges of Mannargudi and Thiruvarur town. Two types of statistical tools are used in the present study namely percentage analysis and chi-square test. Research shows that female college teachers are more satisfied with their job than male teachers and income per annum is an important factor impacting the level of job satisfaction.
