An attempt has been made in this investigation to study the life satisfaction of the female teachers in relation to marital status, community, the type of school and locality of the school. Life Satisfaction scale by Alam and Srivasatava (1983) was administered on a sample of 280 high school teachers selected through random cluster sampling from 70 government school of 3 districts of Punjab. The result shows that life satisfaction had the main effect on marital status, type and locality of school. Married teachers were reported more tolerant, able to understand their students and having lower level of depression than unmarried teachers. The communities of teachers do not have any influence on their life satisfaction.
