Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore self-efficacy and optimism as a predicator of organizational commitment among academicians in private and public sector institutions. Self-efficacy is a belief in one's capacities and the positive attitude towards life. Organizational commitment is state that binds the individual to organization in which they work. Several studies have revealed that self-efficacy and optimism as a significant predictor of employee's attitude to organizational commitment.Literature on the relationship between self-efficacy, optimism and organizational commitment supports the notion that self-efficacy and optimism is an important determinant of organizational commitment.Teacher's Self-efficacy and optimistic behaviour is one of the important variable in education over 25 years now. This variable impacts student's outcome like students achievement scores. In Indian Academic scenario work has been done on self-efficacy and optimism as a predicator of organizational commitment but not much has been done when we compare academicians of private and public sector.Teacher's self-efficacy has been found to relate to positive student and teacher behaviour's, and has a positive effect on educational system and its improvements which leads to the commitment towards the organization. Several studies have shown that academicians from public and private sector institution also differ in terms of their commitment towards the organization.
