The Impact Of Family Restrictions On Job Satisfaction Of Teachers

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of family restrictions on the job satisfaction of female primary school teachers in District Bhakkar, Punjab. Employing a descriptive research design, it sought to understand stakeholder perceptions and compare any differences between head teachers and Primary School Teachers (PSTs). Data were collected from a stratified random sample of 317 respondents using a structured questionnaire. Analysis involved descriptive statistics and a T-test. The findings revealed specific stakeholder perceptions regarding how familial obligations influence job satisfaction. Furthermore, the inferential analysis led to the rejection of the null hypothesis, indicating a statistically significant difference between the perceptions of the two stakeholder groups. The study concludes that family restrictions are a salient factor affecting teacher satisfaction, with implications for educational policy and support mechanisms in similar contexts.
