Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to find the relationship between Personality type,
Professional Commitment and Professional Jealousy in University Teachers. A co-relational
research design was used in the present study. The sample (N= 150) of university teachers were
selected from various universities in Lahore both government and private through using non
probability purposive sampling. Behavior pattern scale, Professional commitment scale for
university teachers and Professional jealousy scale were used to determine personality type,
professional commitment and professional jealousy respectively in university teachers. Factor
analysis was applied for professional commitment scale and four factors emerged from it.
Results of the Pearson Product Moment Correlation determined that personality type AB has a
positive and significant association with factor 1 (hopelessness in excellence/growth), factor 2
(unconcerned/uncommitted) and factor 3 (commitment to profession and society) of
professional commitment. Factor 1 (hopelessness in excellence/growth) is significantly and
positively correlated with factor 2 (unconcerned/uncommitted) and factor 3 (commitment to
profession and society). Factor 3 (commitment to profession and society) is positively and
significantly interrelated with factor 4 (commitment to learner). Professional jealousy has
positive and significant relationship with factor 1 (hopelessness in excellence/growth) while
negative with factor 4 (commitment to learner). Results of Hierarchal Regression established
the predicting role of personality, professional commitment and professional jealousy. Factor
1 (hopelessness in excellence/growth) was the significant predictor of professional jealousy.
The present study will be helpful for university management to find factors that increase
professional commitment and decrease professional jealousy among teachers while also taking
personality patterns into consideration.
