COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE LEVEL OF JOB SATISFACTION AMONG AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE TEACHERS IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS
ABSTRACT
This work gives a comparative analysis of the level of job satisfaction among agricultural science teachers in senior secondary schools
. A hundred and twenty questionnaires were distributed among students and teachers from selected secondary schools. Interviews and surveys were also conducted.
Primary and secondary data were used in the analysis. Percentages and tables were used as instruments of analysis
It was observed therefore that job satisfaction among teachers have a significant positive impact on students’ academic performance. Also, there is a significant and strong positive relationship between job satisfaction among teachers and students academic performance.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM
The role of education as an instrument for the survival of the individual and society, the fostering of national unity and transformation of the social and economic features of society is widely recognized. It’s importance in the attainment of Nigerians five national objectives cannot be over emphasized. However, these objectives cannot be achieved unless the proper education is transmitted from one generation to the other. This success to large extent is dependent on the quality, adequacy and commitment of its teaching staff. According to Okeke (1988) the teachers role is central in the educational process as it determines the quality and effectiveness of the result to be realized. Worthy of mention is the fact that a teacher’s performance and effectiveness is largely dependent on the extent of motivation through attractive incentives and working conditions.
Several studies have shown that a man tends to work well when he is happy within the environment of his work. This means that the physical facilities in which the person works must be both comfortable and secure. The people with whom he works should exhibit friendliness and capable of creating a good social atmosphere for interaction among workers and the machines, tools and equipment with which he performs his duty most be safe and secure moreover a man works well if his supervisors take notice of his work and constantly reinforces him according to his performance. Fegbamiye 2000, Ayinla 2004, Noun 2006).
In a school environment the institutional head needs to get results through people. This is only feasible if there is satisfaction. Non payment of salaries as and when due, delays in giving teachings annual increments, promotion stagnation have been identified as some of the factors responsible for job satisfaction among teachers. This situation eventually results into their unwillingness to remain in the teaching profession (Ayepekun 1989). Our present educational system according to the Ifedi (1977) is bound to be severely undermined if teachers were not motivated to work.
Edem (1987) stated that effective teaching is one that requires well trained and motivated teachers.
The Government school teachers just like other workers take up their appointments because they feel the job will provide among others things the avenue for the satisfaction of their needs. It is in need of the above background therefore that this project work is undertaken to determine the level of job satisfaction and student academic performance among Government schools teachers in Maiduguri Metropolis of Borno State with a view to making appropriate recommendations for improvement.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Teachers are arguably the most important professional, for our nations future as far as educational system is concerned (Bishany 1996) yet it is disturbing to find that many of to days teachers particularly those in public schools are dissatisfied with jobs. Lack of job satisfaction according to Edem (1987) Aiyepekun (1989) and Efedi (1992) is the singly most important factor accounting for massive turn over rate among teachers in the country.
It should be noted that a teacher’s is performance and effectiveness in the realization of the country’s educational objective is largely dependent on the extent of motivation provided through attractive incentives and working conditions.
In the absence of these teachers get dissatisfied with their jobs which may result into either a decline in teachers productivity or an eventual withdrawal from the teaching profession or even both. Consequently our present educational system is bound to be severely undermined if teachers are not motivated to work (Ifedi 1992). It is therefore in view of the above background that this study is undertaken to determine the level of teachers job satisfaction and students academic performance in some selected Government Secondary Schools in Maiduguri Metropolitan area of Borno State, with a view to making suggestions that will improve it thereby enhancing effective teaching and learning activities in the Government Secondary Schools.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objectives of the study are to:-
1. Determine whether teachers in Government Secondary Schools are satisfied with their promotions.
2. To determine whether teachers of secondary schools are satisfied with their pay incentives.
3. Determine whether teachers in Government Secondary Schools are satisfied with their salaries.
4. Determine whether teachers of Government Secondary Schools are satisfied with their professional development and training programmes.
5. Determine whether teachers in Government Secondary Schools are satisfied with the teaching job.
6. Determine whether teachers are satisfied with the extent of cordiality and working relationships.
7. To proffer solution to the identified problems.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The following questions were formulated by the researcher to meet the objectives of the study.
1. Does staff promotion affect job satisfaction of teachers in Government Secondary Schools?
2. Are teachers of Government Secondary Schools Satisfied with the level of pay and salaries.
3. Are teachers of Government Secondary Schools satisfied with their level of professional development and training.
4. Are teachers of Government Secondary Schools satisfied with the teaching profession?
5. Are teachers of government secondary schools satisfied with level of working relationship in their schools?
6. Are teachers of Government Secondary Schools satisfied with their nature of supervision?
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will specifically examine the level of job satisfaction among teachers and student academic performance in Government Secondary Schools in Maiduguri Metropolitan of Borno State. The study will be useful in a number of ways. To large extent it will assist and guide educational planners and policy makers in the formation of policies that will promote school effectiveness and quality of the working life of teachers of Government Secondary Schools.
Government Secondary School Managers will find the contents of this study rewarding, as it will help them to know the areas to which teachers are dissatisfied on their jobs and effect possible changes. This action if undertaken will go a long way in promoting job satisfaction hence the reduction of teachers turnover rate in Government Secondary Schools which results in recruitment for non-pedagogic teachers in our school.
Results of this study will attract government attention at certain or all levels to enact a legislation and possibly review existing ones that seek to promote and protect teachers welfare of schools particularly those of Government.
Finally this study will serve as a guide to researchers who may wish to undertake research relating to the subject matter of this study in the future.
