The present study entitled “Job Satisfaction of Secondary School Teachers in relation to their Emotional Maturity” adopted a descriptive survey method to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and emotional maturity among secondary school teachers. The population of the study comprised all teachers working in secondary schools located in Bengaluru City under the Karnataka State Syllabus, Karnataka, India. A sample of 105 secondary school teachers was selected from the population using the stratified random sampling technique, with strata formed on the basis of gender and type of management. Adequate representation was given to both male and female teachers as well as to teachers working in Government, Private Aided, and Private Unaided schools, ensuring adequate coverage of different management categories. For data collection, standardized tools were used. Job Satisfaction was measured using the Job Satisfaction Scale constructed and standardized by Meera Dixit (1993). Emotional Maturity was assessed using the Emotional Maturity Scale developed by Dr. Yashvir Singh and Dr. Mahesh Bhargava (2010). In addition, a Personal Data Proforma was prepared by the investigator to collect relevant background information such as gender and type of management. The collected data were analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques. Karl Pearson’s Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation was employed to examine the relationship between Job Satisfaction and Emotional Maturity, while the Independent Samples ‘t’ test was used to study differences in Job Satisfaction with respect to variables such as gender and type of management. The findings revealed a strong and statistically significant negative correlation between Job Satisfaction and Emotional Maturity, indicating that teachers with higher emotional maturity tend to have slightly lower perceived job satisfaction, possibly due to their increased emotional awareness and sensitivity to workplace challenges. Teachers with moderately stable and extremely stable emotional maturity levels exhibited significantly higher job satisfaction than those who were emotionally unstable, highlighting the positive contribution of emotional stability to professional fulfillment.
