A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON JOB SATISFACTIONS AMONG THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PERSONNEL OF THE RURAL AND URBAN VIDYAJYOTI SCHOOLS OF TRIPURA

Abstract

The present research is examined to find out the job satisfactions among the physical education personnel (PEP) of the rural and urban Vidyajyoti schools of Tripura. For this study, the researcher has selected only those schools, which are under Vidyajyoti schools. 60 physical education personnel (PEP) were selected: 30 PEP from Vidyajyoti schools, which are located in rural areas, and 30 PEP from Vidyajyoti schools, which are located in urban areas of Tripura. To obtain the data, the researcher used a questionnaire on job satisfaction that was constructed and standardized by Dr. S. K. Paul under the name of S. K. Paul’s Job Satisfaction Scale. This scale was administered to the physical education personnel of the rural and urban Vidyajyoti schools in Tripura. The obtained data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (t-test). Descriptive statistics implied that the data was more or less normal. And a t-test revealed that there were significant differences in job satisfaction among the physical education personnel of Vidyajyoti and private schools in the west Tripura district of Tripura. So, the present study suggests that larger-scale studies are required for more generalization.
