JOB SATISFACTION OF TEACHER EDUCATORS AT THE D.T.ED. LEVEL : ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH ORGANISATIONAL HEALTH
The present study is an attempt to find out whether the job satisfaction of teacher educators is related to the organizational health as it is expected that a teacher educator who is satisfied in his job will have better teacher performance. For this purpose, organizational health is conceptualised as having seven dimensions, namely, institutional integrity, principal influence, consideration, initiating structure, resource support, morale and academic emphasis. The sample was selected from 14 D.T.Ed colleges situated in Greater Mumbai including 90 teacher educators. The sample included 24.44% male and 75.56% female teacher educators. Further, it consisted of 1 private-aided and 13 private-unaided colleges in its purview. It used Pearson’s coefficient of correlation and multiple correlation coefficient for data analysis. The study found that higher the principal influence, consideration, initiating structure, resource support, morale, academic emphasis and total organizational health, higher is likely to be the job satisfaction of teacher educators. Further, 38.14% of the variance in job satisfaction of teacher educators is associated with various dimensions of organisational health combined together.
