Job Satisfaction of Self Financing Engineering College Teachers: Before and During COVID 19

Abstract

Job satisfaction is one of the most widely discussed issue in organizational behaviour and Human Resource Management. In present study the researcher investigated the present level of job satisfaction among the Self Financing Engineering College Teachers: Before And During COVID 19.Job satisfaction is an elusive, even mythical, concept that has been increasingly challenged and refined particularly since the Herzberg, Mauser and Synderman study in 1959. The most important information to have regarding an employee in an institution is a validated measure of his/her level of job satisfaction (Roznowski and Hulin, 1992). A better understanding of job satisfaction and factors associated with it helps top level management in educational institutions guide employees' activities in a desired direction. The morale of employees is a deciding factor in the institution's efficiency (Chaudhary and Banerjee, 2004). The affective component encompasses the good and bad feelings about a job, such as how people feel about their supervisors, co-workers, salaries, fringe benefits, office settings and commute to work. This information can be based on facts, conjecture and rumours. And a person's predisposition to respond in a favourable or unfavourable way to things on a job is the behavioural component. This aspect of an attitude determines the course of action a person chooses.
