It is the need of the hour to secure a sufficient supply of high quality recruits to the teaching profession, providing them with the best possible professional preparation and creating satisfactory working conditions in which they can be fully affective. Satisfaction with work or job is generally defined as the employee’s general attitude towards her/his job, management and the organization. It is often believed that teaching is a noble profession and teachers enter the profession for intrinsic factors which encompass the opportunities for their professional advancement in satisfactory working environment. The present study is an attempt to know the factors contributing for the job satisfaction of women teachers working in secondary schools. The researchers used a well prepared and standardized questionnaire as the tool for collection of data from a sample of 1000 women teachers selected randomly from the three north coastal districts, viz., Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh using Stratified Random Sampling technique. For analysis and interpretation, the techniques used are mean, standard deviation and independent t-test. The findings of the study revealed that women teachers working in government schools are more satisfied in their profession than those working in private schools. The teachers with the qualifications commensurate with the post held by them are more satisfied in their jobs as compared to those with higher qualifications. Further, the results revealed that teachers with an experience of 10 years and above are better satisfied in their jobs as compared to their counterparts with an experience of less than 10 years. No significant difference is noticed in the job satisfaction of women teachers working as Headmasters and School Assistants.
