Abstract:

The present study investigates job satisfaction among teacher educators and examines whether the five dimensions of professional commitment—commitment to learner, commitment to society, commitment to profession, commitment to basic human values, and commitment to achievement of excellence—significantly predict job satisfaction. A random sample of 200 female teacher educators from twelve colleges in Gurdaspur and Amritsar districts participated in the study. The Job Satisfaction Scale (Amar Singh & T.R. Sharma, 2012) and the Professional Commitment Scale (Vishal Sood, 2011) were used for data collection. Statistical analyses included mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple regression. Results show that locality significantly affects job satisfaction, while marital status, family type, and experience do not. Significant differences were found among high, average, and low commitment groups. Regression analysis revealed that commitment to basic human values is the strongest predictor of job satisfaction.
