Abstract
The teacher is custodian and architect of a nation. The future of our
country is in the hands of a teacher. He plays an important role in upholding
the cultural traditions, ideals and values of our society. The whole system of
education depends upon the quality, competency, devotion and character of the
teachers. They are the pillars of society responsible for educating young
people of different walks of life. The statement that no system of education
can raise the level of its teachers, that no programme of educational reforms
can be implemented without the willing and active co-operation of teachers
holds true. Teacher should have a sense of job involvement. Job involvement is
a significant job related behaviour. It shows the degree to which an individual
is personally involved with his job. If the teachers are highly involved
towards their job, they can produce good results in their professional life.
This paper is aimed at investigating the job
involvement of college teachers in their job. A sample of 546 teachers both
male and female was drawn from 36 degree colleges of Himachal Pradesh. The data
was collected using job involvement scale by Dhar & Srivastava. Mean, SD
and t-test were employed for analysis of data. The result revealed that male,
teachers are more involved in their job than female teachers. The study
indicates that Govt. teachers are more involved in their job. There is more job
involvement in Govt. teachers than private college teachers. It is also
observed that teachers belonging to rural areas are more involved in their job
than those of urban areas. Lastly it is also observed that 39% of teachers have
high level of job involvement, 41.6 moderate and 19.4% have low job
involvement.
