Abstract
This study gives a bird’s eye view about the professional commitment of teaching staff in self-financing Engineering colleges and expresses the dearth of education in recent trend and various factors responsible for it in the specific area. Analyzing the factors responsible for the dearth of committed staff and quality education under different dependent variable, (career pursuit commitment, multi-dimensional reward commitment, value commitment) the research analysis suggests the following means to bridge the gap. For a teaching staff, professional commitment involves commitment to profession, commitment to colleagues, commitment to students, commitment to employers etc. The study also, shows demographic representation to support the views presented. In simple terms professional commitment means loyalty towards one’s profession. One imbibes it when one fulfils his responsibilities towards that concerned profession. It requires acquisition of the special knowledge that characterizes a particular profession and application of that knowledge to achieve certain ends. The university is regulated by certain norms. But all these norms are not adhered to, by many Institutions. To make things right, a common body could be formed consisting of representatives from all Institutions coming under its affiliation. This provides better job security, satisfaction, increases self-esteem and thereby contributes to improve the professional commitment of the staff working in self-financing engineering colleges.
