Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Teachers who are satised with their job are more enthusiastic and interested in devoting more energy and time to student achievement (Nguni et al., 2006). Therefore, understanding the important factors affecting teacher job satisfaction is vital to attaining the required information to support an educational system to succeed in its objectives (Perie et al., 1997). Since the principal's leadership behavior is one of the positive factors that have a direct relationship with job satisfaction (Bogler, 2001, Miears, 2004), considerable research has been carried out on the inuence and impact of leadership behavior on job satisfaction (Stockard and Lehman, 2004, Griffith, 2004). Furthermore, Working with a principal who encourages teachers to get involved in decision-making tasks has a positive inuence on teachers' involvement and commitment to their teaching duties and classes (Bogler, 2001). Teachers who work with principals who share information with them, and involve them more in management decisions are more satised. The study reveals that the teachers teaching in primary schools have been satised with the work conditions of the schools, the relationships had with the principals, colleagues, students and parents. But they have some sort of dissatisfaction with the salary they received in school. Not completely, they were dissatised with salary. Few teachers were dissatised with respect to salary. Otherwise, with all the factors of job satisfaction, work condition, relationship, decision-making style of principals and workload they were satised. After analysis and interpretation of data, it was found that majority of the primary school principals were having routine decision-making style. Both male and female school heads of primary schools were having routine decision-making style. There exists no signicant relationship between job satisfaction of primary school teachers and decision-making style of their principals.
