A Study on Commitment of Collegiate Teachers in Selected Trichy Colleges

Abstract

The success of any educational system depends on the quality and capability of teachers who are indispensable to the system and, thus, an important force in the development of a society. For a teaching staff, commitment involves commitment to profession, commitment to institution, commitment to students, commitment to colleagues etc. the study also, shows demographic representation to support the views presented. In simple terms teachers’ commitment means loyalty towards one’s profession. One imbibes it when one fulfils his responsibilities towards that concerned profession. It requires acquisition of the special knowledge that characterizes a particular profession and application of that knowledge to achieve certain ends. The university is regulated by certain norms. But all these norms are not adhered to, by many Institutions. To make things right, a common body could be formed consisting of representatives from all Institutions coming under its affiliation. This provides better job security, satisfaction, increases self-esteem and thereby contributes to improve the commitment of the staffs working in colleges in Trichy district.
