Ahmed, Raheem and Jamal (2003) studied the job satisfaction of 236 teachers in senior secondary schools. Female teachers enjoyed greater satisfaction than their male counterparts did. Married teachers showed more job satisfaction than unmarried teachers did. Teachers who were teaching in government schools showed greater job satisfaction than teachers teaching in private schools. There was no significant change in the job satisfaction due to change in the level of independent variables like sex, marital status and types of schools. Noll (2004) examined the job satisfaction and factors, which affect job satisfaction of teachers. It was found that school culture, teachers‘ relationship with administration, working conditions and motivation were the factors, which had a significant relationship with job satisfaction among school teachers. Agarwal (2004) in a study of job satisfaction of primary and secondary school teachers conducted that caste, place of work and mother tongue were significantly related to job satisfaction. Male graduate trained teachers, single family teachers, more experienced and government school teachers were more satisfied than other; age and marital status however had no relationship with job satisfaction. Gupta and Sahu (2009) studied the relationship of job satisfaction with organizational role stress and locus of control among vocational teachers .A total sample of 200 vocational teachers out of which 100 were males and 100 were females from private vocational institutes of Moradabad district was taken.

Muchhal and Satish (2010) noted accountability of primary school teachers in relation to their job satisfaction. Sample of the study comprised 150 primary school teachers from private and government school of Baghpat district from Uttar Pradesh State. Out of 150 primary school teachers only 30 teachers i.e. 20% more satisfied 70 teachers i.e. 46.67% average satisfied and the rest 50 teachers i.e.33.33% were less satisfied toward their job. The coefficient of correlation between teacher‘s accountability and job satisfaction was positive. It indicated that teachers who were more jobs satisfied were highly accountable; on the other hand teachers who were less satisfied were less accountable towards their job. There exited a significant difference in job satisfaction of male and female teachers. Female teachers were more satisfied towards their job as compared to male teachers.
