Abstract

The present study focused on the relationship between personality adjustment and job satisfaction among junior college Lecturers in Vizianagaram District of Andhra Pradesh, India. The successfulness of any educational program basically depends on the right performance and acceptance of teacher community. This mainly depends on their satisfaction in their profession. The teacher in their present situation is facing various academic and administrative issues. The teachers' personality adjustment is related to various professional, administrative, personal and societal aspects that are involved in the teacher profession. The aspects of teachers' personality adjustment and job satisfaction are conceptually independent and practically interdependent.

The data were analyzed by way of means, standard deviations, critical ratios and Coefficient of correlations. The results were discussed and the conclusions were drawn.
