enabling them to become gender sensitive in their workplace. Also, it is highly

evident (mean of 4.39) that the school made them independent and responsible.

for life after graduation. Instead, it is highly evident (mean of 4.37) that the school

taught them how to balance work and complete tasks on time. Moreover, it is

also highly evident (mean of 4.31) that the school facilitated the development of

researcher seeks to find the significant effect of educational influence on the life

satisfaction.

Effect of Educational Influence on the Life Satisfaction of the

respondents. Since Fcom value (1.0) is lesser than the Ftab value (5.32),

therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that

there is no significant effect between educational influence and life satisfaction.

All of the respondents in terms of age profile are twenty-six to thirty years

old. Moreover, most of the respondents are females with bachelor’s degree in
