The Factor Affecting Teachers’ Loyalty in the Higher Educational Institutions

Abstract

In the higher education institutions, either public or private sector, the issue of loyalty exists. Though, in this regard, the nature and intensity differs from times to times, country to country institution to institution and from individual to individual. Therefore, to address the issue of loyalty in different situations, different measures are needed. The related literature proposes that loyalty is a critical and leading problematic issue for the public sector universities of Pakistan where the private sector is the leading challenger with a strong financial base and clientele. Contrary to this, the universities in public sector are facing with acute financial constraints which hamper the level of loyalty and resulting in the turnover on the wide scale. Research shows that, Loyalty has sometime been used as a synonym for one or more forms of commitment.
