| Summary: | The research investigated how school welfare impacts the job satisfaction of English teachers in selected secondary schools in Kabale Municipality. The study aimed to determine the influence of housing, provision of meals, and access to medical care on English teachers' job satisfaction. A cross-sectional survey methodology was employed, using questionnaires and interviews for data collection.
Regarding the effect of housing on job satisfaction, the findings indicated that adequate and affordable housing significantly contributes to the overall well-being of English teachers, thereby enhancing job satisfaction. Proximity of housing to the school also positively affects job satisfaction by allowing teachers more time to prepare lesson plans and teach effectively.
In terms of meals provided, the study revealed that providing meals to English teachers contributes to their job satisfaction by saving time that would otherwise be spent sourcing meals outside of school. Additionally, nutritious meals contribute to the well-being of teachers, thereby enhancing their satisfaction in the workplace.
Regarding access to medical care, the research found that providing medical care promotes a sense of security and peace of mind among English teachers, which positively influences their job satisfaction. Access to medical care enables teachers to address their health needs effectively, further enhancing job satisfaction.
Based on these findings, the study recommended that educational associations and teacher unions advocate for housing support and policies that promote work-life balance at regional and national levels. It also suggested implementing wellness programs focusing on healthy lifestyles, including exercise, nutrition, and stress management, to improve the overall well-being and job satisfaction of English teachers. |
