The study is a descriptive survey conducted on 100 secondary school teachers of Hoshiarpur district. The data was collected from 100 secondary school teachers from 10 secondary schools (5 Urban and 5 Rural) of Hoshiarpur District. Stratified Random sampling technique was employed for the selection of sample. The total sample was selected on the basis of gender, locality and teaching experience (<10 and >10 years). The Job satisfaction scale constructed and standardized by Dixit (1993) was employed to collect data for the study. The results reveal that job satisfaction of teachers cannot be differentiated on the basis of Gender. There is no significant difference in job satisfaction of secondary school teachers teaching in Urban and Rural schools. No significant difference was found between job satisfaction of secondary school teachers having teaching experience <10 years and >10 years i.e. Job satisfaction is an independent of their teaching experience. The paper further gives educational implications on the basis of result findings.
