The most single factor of individual success in an organisation is commitment. Of late, considerable interest in the concept of organisational commitment has developed among theorists and researchers. The objective of this study is to gauge the level of organisational commitment among govt. and private school teachers, and to study if, there is significant difference in their commitment to their schools. The focus resides on the two main facets of organisational commitment - “identity with the schools” and “concern for the schools”. The results of the study unfold that the teachers possess the desired level organisational commitment and it does not vary significantly between govt. and private school teachers.
