EXPLORING OCCUPATIONAL COMMITMENT OF TEACHER EDUCATORS: A CONCEPTUAL PERSPECTIVE

MS SUNITA GAUTAM, PROF. ANIL KUMAR JAIN

Abstract

The concept of occupational commitment of teacher educators plays an important role in the teaching, particularly for teacher educators who influence future generations and shape their career. This paper explores the theoretical foundations of occupational commitment, focusing on its psychological, sociological, learners and institutional aspects. Through a discussion of existing literature, the paper examines how factors like self-efficacy, job satisfaction, work load and institutional support contribute to occupational commitment. Recommendations are offered for improving commitment through targeted policies and professional development programs aimed at teacher educators.
