Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the socioeconomic factors affecting job satisfaction among higher secondary school teachers in Kanyakumari district. It aims to understand teachers’ attitudes towards job satisfaction and propose solutions to improve it. Using a proportionate stratified random sampling method, a sample of 100 teachers from government, aided, and self-financing schools was selected. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources within the Kanyakumari district. Analysis, presented in tables and figures, reveals that self-financing school teachers face greater challenges compared to their counterparts in government and aided schools. Addressing the recommendations from this study could lead to significant positive changes in teachers' attitudes and overall job satisfaction, particularly if implemented by government authorities and school administrators.
