Abstract: Job involvement is the degree to which a person identifies with his or her job, actively participates in it and considers his or her perceived performance level important to self-worth (Blau and Boal, 1987).
Aim: To determine the job involvement among government and private college professors.
Methods: The population included in the study was government and private college professors. Purposive sampling method was used. Tool used in the study was Job Involvement Scale (JIS) developed by Santosh Dhar and Upinder Dhar (2001). The data was subjected to statistical analysis - Mean, SD’s and t-test and percentage analysis.
Results: The finding of this study reveal that there is a significant difference in the levels of job involvement and the domain identification with the job between government and private college professors. And there is no significant difference in the domain job centricity between government and private college professors. Conclusion: Reason why professors are involved more towards private sector may be due to the credibility of their job in terms of the name of the particular institution and its reputation in the society when compared to government colleges that are commonly known for its job instability, lack on incentives other than monetary benefits and so on.
