Study of organizational climate, motivation and emotional intelligence as predictors of teacher effectiveness

ABSTRACT Education opens the doors of development not only for the class, but also for the mass in India. The mass depends largely upon Government schools for education. Government is also giving priority to the education showing commitment by raising funds and making amendments in the Constitution of India. It is understood by the Government of India that development of the nation, lies in the development of an individual. New schools, colleges, universities and other educational boards and institutions are being opened. But quality of education is not possible by only opening a number of schools and colleges but by also appointing effective teachers in these educational institutions. While contemplating on this issue, a number of questions strike my mind, like who is an effective teacher? What are the qualities of an effective teacher? How to identify and select effective teachers? What are the differences between an effective and an ineffective teacher, and so on. The present study is aimed at answering a few mentioned questions. The investigator, considering the importance of the teacher in the educational system and achievement of educational goals, has designed a study to investigate the effect of school organisation climate, teachers' motivation to work and emotional intelligence on teacher effectiveness. In other words, to investigate the predictors of teacher effectiveness.
