The teachers are the custodian and originator of a nation. The prospect of any nation is in the hands of the teachers. They play a vital role in safeguarding the artistic customs, morals and ethics of our culture. The entire system of learning depends upon the excellence, capability, devotion and character of the teachers. The vital procedure of education could be simplified as a significant communication between the teacher and the taught. They are the pillar of society with the responsibility of educating young people of different walks of life. The statement that no structure of education can raise the level of its teachers, that no programme of educational reforms can be implemented without the willing and active co-operation of teachers holds true. Teacher should have a sense of job involvement. Job involvement is significant in job related behaviour. It shows the extent to which an individual is personally involved with his job. If the teachers are highly involved towards their job, they can produce good results in their professional life. As far as school teachers are concerned, they play a significant role in the personality and career development of their students. Teachers with high level of job involvement have a tendency to be satisfied with their jobs and highly committed to their organization. A teacher’s success in the educational practice depends upon their job involvement. The teacher having job involvement will not show dishonesty in his task. This paper is aimed at investigating the job involvement of school teachers in their job. A sample of 100 teachers both male and female was drawn from the Government and private schools of Kanyakumari District.
