| Abstract | Job satisfaction expresses the extent of match between teachers' expectation of the job, job requirements and the satisfaction derived from their jobs. There seems to be a growing discontentment towards teaching as a result of which standards of education are falling. Teachers are dissatisfied in spite of different plans and programmes which have been implemented to improve their job. Stress has been defined as "the state manifested by the specific syndrome, which consists of all the non-specific induced changes in a biological system." The causes of stress are many. Stress falls into different groups--physical, environmental, cultural expectations and personal and social expectations. All these indicate stress is always present with the teacher. So a teacher has to cope with these stresses by adopting certain coping skills. The study was carried out on a representative sample of 500 teachers from the primary schools of Kerala state, India (165 male & 335 female). Proportionate stratified sampling technique was employed. Two tools were used to collect the data. The first one was the Scale of Job Satisfaction by Kumar & Kumar (2001) and the second one was Stress Coping Skills Inventory by Bindhu, Aneesh & Gulabi (2005). Both the tools are standardized. The Stress Coping Skills Inventory consists of seven components reactivity to stress, ability to relax, self reliance, pro-active attitude, adaptability and flexibility, ability to assess situation, and resourcefulness. There are 42 items in the inventory. Subjects have to decide how far each statement in the inventory is true in their case. Response can be made in a three point scale as "Always," "Sometimes" and "Never." For a positive statement the score given is 3, 2, and 1. Scoring scheme is reversed for a negative statement. Reliability of the test was 0.48 and established the content validity. Differential and correlational analysis were used in the analysis of data. The study revealed that job satisfaction differentiates male and female primary school teachers and there is positive correlation between job satisfaction and stress coping skills. On the basis of the results obtained, practical suggestions were offered which will be helpful to improve job satisfaction and stress coping skills among primary school teachers. (Contains 2 tables.)
