Abstract

The strength of an employee's identification in as well as connection with his/her profession is professional Commitment, which is influenced by Employment status. Employment status means either an employee is working on a contractual or regular basis. The descriptive study at hand is an attempt to compare the Professional Commitment and Teaching Performance of Contractual and Regular Secondary School Teachers in Punjab province, Pakistan. The researcher selected two divisions from Punjab province conveniently, and by further multistage sampling, a total number of 400 Secondary School Teachers (SSTs) were selected as samples. Measurement of Professional Commitment was made by a questionnaire developed by the researchers, whereas the Measurement of Teaching Performance was made by SST's previous session result of 9th grade. The analysis of data revealed that Regular SSTs showed better Teaching Performance than Contractual SSTs, but their Professional Commitment was the same as that of the contractual teachers.
