Abstract
This study investigated the Emotional Empathy, Occupational Role Stress and Job Satisfaction among Teachers of average and Special education institutes. The objectives of this study included to explore; predictive relationship between emotional empathy, occupational role stress and job satisfaction among teachers of special education and normal schools, gender difference in teachers of special education and normal children schools on emotional empathy and difference in job satisfaction of teachers of special education and normal children schools in the context of Pakistan. In present study three instruments were used; Emotional empathy scale (Caruso & Mayer, 1998), occupational role stress scale (Pareek, 1993) and Job satisfaction scale (Macdonald & MacIntyre, 1991).These were administered on the sample of 150 teachers along with informed consent. To achieve the objectives of the study hypotheses were formulated and tested by using correlation and regression analysis. Hypotheses were strongly supported; the results showed that normal school teachers were more empathetic as compared to the special school teachers. The results also supported the hypothesis that occupational role stress had negative correlation with job satisfaction. Special education teachers showed higher level of occupational role stress and low job satisfaction as compared to normal school teachers.
