Abstract: This study examines the well-being and professional fulfillment of male and female educators working in self-financed institutions in Ghaziabad, focusing on disparities in mental health and job satisfaction. The research employs a descriptive-analytical design to explore the key factors influencing educators’ psychological well-being, workplace satisfaction, and gender-specific experiences. Surveys and interviews were conducted among 150 educators from various self-financed colleges to collect data on stress levels, coping mechanisms, institutional support, and job satisfaction dimensions, including intrinsic motivation, workplace environment, and professional growth opportunities. The findings reveal notable gender disparities, with female educators reporting higher stress levels due to work-life balance challenges and institutional biases, while male educators highlighted issues related to career progression and recognition. Both groups emphasized the importance of a supportive institutional environment for enhancing their overall job satisfaction and mental health. This study underscores the need for tailored policies and interventions to address gender-specific challenges, promote mental health awareness, and foster professional fulfillment among educators. By addressing these disparities, self-financed institutions can enhance teacher retention, productivity, and educational outcomes.
