Demographic variables of sector, gender and district were also examined.This study applied a quantitative research approach to conduct the survey. The sample consisted of 250 teachers from different schools in Punjab province.Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data. Findings revealed significant differences in public and private secondary schoolteachers' perceptions of four sub-factors of school organizational health.
