An individual‘s general outlook towards his or her work is called as job satisfaction. It is the disparity between the amount of rewards one receives and the amount he or she believes he or she should receive. Job satisfaction has the direct relation with the job performance of an employee. Lower job satisfaction tends to lead to both turnover and absenteeism, whereas high job satisfaction results in increased job performance. Students are one of the valuable assets of any society. Well-being of society depends upon its students because these are the student who will take the accountability of the triumph of the society in future and in achieving this objective, the teacher‘s play extremely vital role. They are source of guidance at many crucial steps in academic life. When teachers are satisfied with their job they can perform the responsibilities with more concentration, dedication and proficiency. College Teachers are the most imperative group of professionals for our nation‘s future. Therefore, it is astonishing to know that still today many of the college teachers are dissatisfied with their jobs. Job satisfaction among college teachers is good, not only for themselves but for the society as a whole. It increases productivity and classroom performance in the college. Wellbeing of any society depends upon the role played by the teacher. Teachers are the source of guidance in all the essential steps in the scholastic lives of the students. When teachers are satisfied with their job they can execute their responsibilities with more concentration and dedication. Job satisfaction is one of the most widely discussed issues in organizational behavior, personnel and human resource management and organizational management. As teaching does require a great deal of meticulousness and dedication, so in teaching it is more important to have mental commitment and loyalty than physical presence. This paper is part of a doctoral research which is directed towards finding out the reasons for job dissatisfaction amongst teaching fraternity in private higher educational institutions and possibly find remedy for itReferences
