Job Involvement of Polytechnic College Teachers in Tiruchirappalli District

Abstract

This study examined the level of job involvement among polytechnic college teachers in the Tiruchirappalli District. This study aimed to analyse whether job involvement differs with respect to age, gender, subject taught, and designation. This study adopted a quantitative research design using a survey method. Primary data were collected from 50 polytechnic college teachers using structured questionnaires. The data were analysed using percentage analysis, chi-square test, t-test, and one-way ANOVA. The findings indicate that teachers generally exhibit moderate to high levels of job involvement. Although inferential analysis did not reveal statistically significant differences across demographic variables, meaningful trends were observed, particularly among mid-career teachers, science faculty, and Assistant Professors. This study contributes to the literature on teacher job involvement in technical education institutions by highlighting the patterns of professional engagement. Future research should expand the sample size, incorporate qualitative methods, and examine organizational factors influencing job involvement.
