Dr. Umamageswari, G.
ABSTRACT
Teacher freezing refers to a condition in which educators become stagnant in their
professional growth, engagement, and instructional practices, often due to institutional
constraints, stress, lack of motivation, or limited professional development opportunities.
This study examines teacher freezing within the framework of organizational climate and
explores how institutional factors contribute to or mitigate this phenomenon. By analysing
existing research and scholarly literature, the study identifies key determinants such as
teacher burnout, organizational support, stress, and leadership practices. The findings
reveal that there is no significant difference in the level of teacher freezing between
government and private higher secondary school teachers. Additionally, no significant
difference was found between male and female teachers in terms of teacher freezing.
