terms of effect, goals and values of the profession. Measuring
commitment on this basis, explores the contributing factors and
variables to commitment. Empirical evidence on 454 senior secondary
school teachers of Delhi, with the help of discriminant analysis,
revealed that perceived characteristics of profession, workrelated
personality and desire to improve one′s own skills were contributing in
that order. The constituent variables that discriminated more and less
committed teachers were perceived status, expectations of significant
persons, interest in profession, intrinsic motivation, social support,
positive group attitudes, perceived advancement and desire to improve
skills for professional purpose.
