Abstract
To determine how college teachers' job satisfaction, socioeconomic status, and family monthly income relate to one another in Mohammadpur, Dhaka. A purposive sample of one hundred instructors was used in a cross-sectional study design. The instrument of measurement was job satisfaction (Khaleque, 1980). The correlation results show that job satisfaction [r=.402, p<.05] and socioeconomic status [r=.739, p<.01] are significantly positively correlated with family monthly income. The socioeconomic position of teachers, however, was a small but significant predictor, accounting for 16.1% (R2 =.161, p =.001) of the variation in job satisfaction scores. According to these results, if socioeconomic circumstances improve, educators might be happier in their positions. The study adds to our understanding of how professional satisfaction in Bangladesh's academic community is influenced by social and economic positions.
