INTRODUCTIONBackground to the StudyThe impact of job satisfaction is
very crucial to the long term growth of any educational system around
the world. Man tends to render certain services if he is reasonably
satisfied in his chosen career. Job satisfaction is desired in virtually
all human organizations such as family, church, industry, civil service
and the school for the purpose of attaining their stated objectives
Fafunwa (1974), noted that both boys and girls in the traditional
education settings performed their best in the art of hunting, farming
and cooking when their morale were boosted by their parents through
praises, incentives and other forms of motivation.However, those who
excelled in the discharge of their duties or functions were normally
praised and guided for better performance in future while those who
performed below expectation were cautioned, assisted and guided for a
good performance in future.The efficiency of any school system depends
to a large extent upon how effectively human resources are utilized. It
is assumed that teachers agitations and demands are beyond the resources
of the ministry of education or the government. As a result the
government in Nigeria and the Nigerian union of teachers (NUT) are in
constant face – off over the increase in salaries, benefits and
improvements of or in working conditions of teachers.Locke (1986),
observed that job satisfaction refers to the pleasurable or positive
emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job experiences.
Eneasator (1990), defined job satisfaction as the totality of an
individuals psychological, social and physical well – being with regard
to his work and job performance Teachers need to enjoy positive job
satisfaction in order to be more functional and contribute meaningfully
to the teaching and learning process in the school. In the context of
this study, job satisfaction connotes teachers’ pleasurable or positive
and emotional state resulting from their job experiences in terms of
financial incentives, teaching facilities and principals leadership
styles, teachers welfare, student attitude / response. There should be
availabilities of functional libraries, recreational facilities and
staff quarters to make teaching and learning condition very conductive
for the student and teachers. Obi (1997), stressed that if teachers lack
job satisfaction their physiological needs will rarely be met and this
will negatively influence their productive capacity, but if teachers
enjoy job satisfaction, they tend to exhibit unprecedented love to their
students through adequate teaching and research. The present study is
expected to find out the true job satisfaction among secondary school
teachers in Ezeagu L.G.A. The study is aimed at finding out the level of
job satisfaction in terms of benefits, and the availability of
facilities for teaching and learning in Ezeagu L.G.A. It also seeks to
ascertain the extent to which teachers are affected by the principals’
leadership styles, teachers welfare and students attitude and response.
It has become necessary to determine whether teachers in Ezeagu
Secondary School are satisfaction with their working conditions whether
they receive commensurate remuneration that would keep them move
comfortable to sustain their services and achieve the stated educational
objectives as well as the stated educational goals.Ocha (2005) observed
that falling standard of education in Nigeria could be attributed to
lack of job satisfaction among practicing teachers. He noted that the
deplorable condition of teachers, is likened to their low moral which
invariably affects teaching and learning.Ogunsanju (1983) reported that
the public is worried over the deplorable state of affairs in the
secondary school system in Nigeria. The incessant strike action embarked
by the teachers in primary and secondary schools in Nigeria the calls
for serious concern. This ugly trend in the school system is evidently
shown in the frequent work stop and long closure of schools resulting in
truncated academic calendar and the complete breakdown of discipline,
learning and scholarship.Fagbemi (1980), noted that these days teachers
are found outside their school premises and even within the school
premises, selling goods to the detriment of their duties. Part of the
reasons for these actions of the teachers could be absence of job
satisfaction among secondary school teachers. On the contrary, the Enugu
State Government has always maintained through radio and television
announcement that teachers salaries and allowances teaching aids
facilities and other conditions of service necessary for providing job
satisfaction have been provided for effective teaching and learning. The
Problem of the study is therefore to determine the extent to which
secondary school teachers are satisfied in their teaching job in Ezeagu
Local Government Area.
Purpose of the StudyThis study was designed to ascertain the extent to
which secondary school teachers in Ezeagu are satisfied with their jobs.
Specifically, the study sought to achieve the following objectives.1.
¬To determine the extent to which the financial benefits satisfy
secondary school teachers in Ezeagu Local Government Area.2. To
ascertain the extent to which secondary school teachers are satisfied
with available facilities in the schools in Ezeagu L.G.A.3. To find out
the extent to which leadership style of school principals affects
teachers job satisfaction.
Significance of the StudyThe findings of the study will be of importance
to the officials of the Ministry of Education, Enugu, and the post ¬
Primary Schools Management Board (PPSMB) Enugu. It will help to improve
the learning process if the teachers become satisfied with their
salaries and other working condition. Teachers and students are expected
to benefit from the findings of the study. Teachers are expected to
enhance their productivity rate since the findings of the study are
likely to bring the attention of relevant authorities to the
satisfaction of the primary and secondary needs of the teachers. The
students on their own part will be more enthusiastic to the teaching and
learning processes because the teacher are expected to show more love
to their students by providing them with relevant and interesting
learning experiences. The finding of the study will be of importance to
entire public because it is likely to make interesting revelations on
the extent of job satisfaction among secondary school teachers in
Ezeagu.
