dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of work environment with teachers’ job satisfaction among private secondary school teachers of district Lahore. A quantitative survey design was utilized to investigate the relationship of work environment with teachers’ job satisfaction among private secondary school teachers. The population for this study was the private school teacher who teaches at secondary level in district Lahore. The sample of the study was 300 teachers teaching in secondary private schools of the district Lahore, but because of the Covid-19 restrictions, survey questionnaire was developed on Google Form and the link was shared with the teachers taken as sample in the study. A questionnaire based on five-point Likert scale was used as an instrument for the process of data collection. The questionnaire was comprised of 26 statements. In order to check the validity of the instrument, correlation was found out to highlight the significance level of each and every statement. The validity of the instrument was ensured by taking expert opinions. The researcher received 250 responses, out of which only 226 were included in the final analysis because the rest were incomplete and missed important demographic information. Convenience sampling method was utilized and due to the limited time of the study, the data was collected from the Cantonment tehsil of Lahore only. The analysis of data collected for this study was performed through the IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21. Out of total 226 respondents, 80 were males and 146 were females. The results of the study have shown that most of the private school teachers of the district Lahore are satisfied with their jobs as the mean score for items related to Job Satisfaction is (M=3.7). The mean score of the participants related to the Work Environment is (M=3.8), which means that majority of the private secondary school teachers of the district Lahore are satisfied with their Work Environment. The mean score of the male teachers for Job Satisfaction is (M=44.80) and for female teachers is (M=44.0), which shows that males have better perception for the Job Satisfaction. While for the Work Environment, the perception of female teachers (M=42.27) is better as compared to male teachers (M=41.73). There is a positively significant relation between job satisfaction and Work Environment (r = .833, p <0.01), which means a very strong correlation between work environment and job satisfaction. It was concluded that there was strong relationship between the Work Environment and Job Satisfaction. Both of the elements co-exist; without a proper working environment an employee cannot feel satisfied. It is recommended that the private schools should opt for increasing the satisfaction of their teachers. If school management starts asking for the views and perspective of the employees, it can also help in boosting their interest in the job and their schools, and the management needs to be transparent. When it comes to the feedback, all of the criteria should be open and clear to each; it will motivate the teachers.
