Procrastination And Job Satisfaction Of School Teachers

Abstract

Academic Procrastination is an alarming social issue. It is the habit of procrastinating and many of us have made it a part of our lives. It's been around for a long time and has affected many cultures and situations. Job satisfaction is the sense of accomplishment that an employee gets from their job. On the other hand, procrastination and lack of job satisfaction would prevent teachers from providing quality education and meeting the needs of students. Teachers' competence and dedication are essential for their students' growth. This study aims to explore the procrastination and job satisfaction of school teachers by using a survey methodology. This study focused on selecting a sample of school teachers working in four high-schools in a block in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu based on the random sampling technique. The main variables used for the study were procrastination and job satisfaction. The study used two scales Shanmugammganesan's Procrastination Rating Scale (2010) and Sampath Kumar's Job Satisfaction Rating Scale (2012) to make its findings. The results suggest that the average procrastination nature among the teachers and job satisfaction need to be addressed through appropriate recommendations. Therefore, it is important to develop and create new strategies that can be applied from paper documents to actual practices.
