Empowered Educators, Thriving Learners: Exploring the Impact of Teacher Satisfaction on Student Success

Education

Teachers’job satisfaction is a vital factor influencing the quality of education and student performance across schools in Kolkata. This study investigates the underlying theories and key influences on job satisfaction among teachers in Kolkata, including Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and the Job Characteristics Model. It focuses on local determinants such as the unique school cultures of Kolkata, access to professional development programs, salary structures, job security within the West Bengal education system, and the prevailing working conditions in both government and private institutions. The findings reveal that improved job satisfaction correlates with higher teaching quality and student achievement in Kolkata’s diverse educational landscape. The paper underscores the importance of policy interventions by educational authorities and school management to foster professional growth, mental well-being, and a positive work atmosphere for educators. Addressing these elements is crucial for enhancing teacher retention and raising the overall standard of education in the region.
