A Teacher Educator is responsible for producing future teachers under whose charge the destiny of our next generation is placed. They are also supposed to contribute significantly towards preparing their students as role performers in different walks of life. In order to fulfil these expectations, teachers need to maintain their personal commitment to the organization where they are employed. Thus, it has been widely recognized that teachers' commitment to the organization is a vital factor for its effective functioning.

Commitment refers to an individual's attraction and attachment to the work and the organization. It refers to the socio-psychological bonding of an individual to his group or organization, its goals and values or to his occupation and profession. Among the different factors influencing the performance of Teacher Educators, one of the most significant factors is the Organizational Commitment.

The present investigation focuses on the Organizational Commitment of Teacher Educators serving in B.Ed Colleges of Education. An attempt is made to study the influence of gender, location of the institution and educational qualification on Organizational Commitment.

The study used a descriptive design. A sample of 110 Teacher Educators working in 12 self-financing colleges of Thiruvallur district were randomly selected. The standardized tool “Organizational Commitment Scale (TOCS)” developed by Dr. Sajid Jamal and Dr. Abdul Raheem (2014) was used.

The results revealed that there is no significant difference in the Organizational Commitment of Teacher Educators with respect to Gender, Major subject and Marital status, but significant differences were found with respect to the Location of the Institution.
