Abstract
The substantive aim of this study was to identify the effect of
governmental notification of up gradation of special education
teachers on job satisfaction of teachers working in the area of
mental retardation. Punjab Special Education Department notified
the creation of 270 posts of Senior Special Education Teachers
(BS-17, one in each disability like hearing impairment, physical
disabilities and visual impairment) excluding teachers of children
with mental retardation. The study was a comparison of job
satisfaction of these teachers before and after the issuance of
notification. A sample of forty one teachers (26-38 years old) was
taken from a list of forty five Government Special Education
Centers selected through systematic random sampling technique.
Two self-developed questionnaires were used to elicit responses
from these teachers. The reliability of validated instrument
1(before notification) was .73(Cronbach alpha) and instrument
2(after notification) was .79 (Cronbach alpha).The major findings
exhibited moderate level of job satisfaction among teachers which
was extremely affected after the issuance of notification of up
gradation. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were
made.
