A study on non-government primary teacher educators in their different dimensions of organizational climates in West Bengal

The present study was undertaken with a view, to assess the different organizational climate among the non-government primary teacher educators in their institutions. For this purpose, random sampling technique was adopted and 150 teacher educators from 31 primary teacher education institutions were selected. Standardized tool School Organizational Climate Descriptive Questionnaire (SOCDQ) by Sharma (1973) was used. The data were analyzed by Mean, Standard Deviation and Standard Score (10Z+50). Present study found that there (i) autonomous climate was more open in non-government primary teacher education institutions. (ii) Open climate and control climate did not differ on their openness in non-government primary teacher education institutions. (iii) Control climate was more open than familiar climate in nongovernment primary teacher education institutions. (iv) ‘Disengagement’ of non-govt. primary teacher educators was low in familiar climate and high in paternal climate. (v) ‘Alienation’ was moderate in non-government primary teacher educators (vi)‘Esprit’ of non-govt. primary teacher educators was less in close climate and high in autonomous climate. (vii) ‘Intimacy’ of non-govt. primary teacher educators was moderate, except low in control climate. (viii) ‘Psychophysical hindrance’ of non-govt. primary teacher educators was low in familiar climate and high in close climate. (ix) ‘Control’ of non-govt. primary teacher educators was low in open climate and high in control climate. (x) ‘Production emphasis’ of non-govt. primary teacher educators was moderate, except low in autonomous climate. (xi) ‘Humanized thrust’ of non-govt. primary teacher educators were high in open climate; low in autonomous and close climate. (xii) On the basis of this observation (Present study vs. Sharma's study), that marginal difference of each dimension and each climate on Prototypic Profile due to cause is socio-economic and cultural diffusion.
