Abstract
Ensuring work satisfaction and motivation is crucial for the ongoing development of educational systems globally. The work of teacher educators is crucial to the success of any educational institution. The purpose of this research was to examine teacher educators' perceptions of job satisfaction as a motivating factor in West Bengal's teacher education programmes. We chose 136 colleges in West Bengal that educate teachers, including both public and private institutions, and whether they were located in urban or rural areas. Educators of future teachers were asked to fill out a standardized work satisfaction form. Mean, standard deviation, variance, and test of significance were among the statistical techniques used to analyze the study's data. Findings indicated substantial differences between public and private universities, as well as between male and female teacher educators. However, when comparing rural and urban teacher educators, as well as male and female educators overall, there was no discernible difference in terms of work satisfaction.
