Keywords:
Organisational Climate, Organisational Commitment, TEIs, Teacher Education, Teacher EducatorAbstract
For any organization to run efficiently and successfully, commitment of the employees towards the organization is very important. Employees’ emotional, conative and normative attachment to an organization, is a boon to any organization. The organizational climate or organizational culture is reflected in an organization’s objectives which aim to develop its staff or employees by providing them good working environment and condition, assisting and supporting them in having job satisfaction, and thus all these will enhance commitment among the staff towards the organization (Dorgham, 2012). There are many studies assessing the role of organisational climate and organisational commitment but the TEIs’ organisational climate and commitment relationship is never studied. The present study aimed to find out the relationship between organisational climate of TEIs and organisational commitment of the teacher educators. For the study, the tools developed by Halphin and Croft (Halpin and Croft’s Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire); and, Allen and Meyer’s (Organizational Commitment standard questionnaire) were adapted and standardised by the investigator. The study revealed that there is no correlation between the organisational climate of TEIs and organisational commitment of the teacher educators.
