The scale consists of 52 items and is divided into eight areas–I. Intrinsic aspect of job, II. Salary, Promotional avenues & service condition, III. Physical facilities, IV. Institutional Plans & Policies, V. Satisfaction with authorities, VI. Satisfaction with social status and family welfare, VII. Rapport with students, VIII. Relationship with co-workers. The findings of the study reflected that there exists a significant positive relationship between teacher effectiveness and the job satisfaction of teachers at the secondary level. It shows that an increase in job satisfaction leads to an increase in teacher effectiveness.
