| Summary: | The aim of the study was to determine factors related to job satisfaction among
secondary school teachers in Balakong. Two secondary schools in Balakong area were
involved in the study. They were Sekolah Menengah Cheras Perdana and Sekolah
Menengah Perimbun. Respondents consists of two hundred and twenty-seven teachers.
A modified version of the Job Descriptive Index questionnaire was used in the study.
The questionnaire is divided into two parts. Part one of the questionnaire determined
the biodata of the respondents. Part two of the questionnaire dealt with job satisfaction
level. The aspect of job were divided into twelve elements. The data collected were
analysed using SPSS programme (Statistical Package for Social Services).
Frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviation, Eta and Point biserial (rpb) were
obtained. The study showed that teachers in the Balakong area were dissatisfied withtheir job. They were dissatisfied in eleven of the elements related to job satisfaction.
However they were satisfied with security provided by the job (mean = 3.2). There was
a significant and strong relationship between personal life with working experience
(Eta =.51, P <.01), age (Eta =.42, p <.01), sex (rpb =.43, P <.01) and salary (Eta =.31, P <.01). Among the elements of intrinsic factors, work itself showed the highest
mean (mean = 2.5). The lowest mean was shown by promotion (mean = 1. 9). In the
hygiene factors job security showed the highest mean (mean = 3.2) and co-worker
showed the lowest mean (mean = 1.9). The study did not support Herzberg's view that
job satisfaction was influenced by intrinsic factors and dissatisfaction by Hygiene
factors. The study showed that both the factors did not influence the respondents job
satisfaction level. |
