Gender Differences in the Level of Organisational Commitment Among School Teachers

The research was aimed at finding the gender differences in organisational commitment among schoolteachers. For this purpose, the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (Meyer and Allen, 1993) was administered on 80 schoolteachers, out of which 40 were male and 40 were female. The subjects were assessed on their overall level of commitment towards the organisation and the three subscales of organisational commitment- normative, continuance and affective. Results showed a significant difference in organisational commitment among male and female schoolteachers however, no significant difference was found in the three subscales.
