Abstract

The present study investigated secondary school teachers' job satisfaction in relation to school organizational climate in Iran and India. 512 teachers were selected through simple random sampling from secondary schools of Arak city (Iran) and Mysore city (India). The sample consisted of 226 men and 286 women. They were assessed using. the Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale (Sudha & Satyanarayana, 1985) and School Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire (Sharma, 1978). Results indicated that there is a significant relationship between all sub factors of teachers' job satisfaction and six dimensions of school organizational climate in both the countries. From a comparative perspective, it is clear that school organizational climate has more influence on teachers' job satisfaction in India than in Iran.
