Effect of sex of teachers, locale and types of schools on the emotional maturity of the secondary school teachers

The purpose of the present study was to find out the significant differences on emotional maturity of secondary school teachers in respect to sex, locations of schools and types of schools of teachers. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant differences on different aspects of emotional competency between male and female teachers, between rural and urban schools teachers as well as those of Govt and private schools. For it, 400 secondary school teachers were selected randomly; out of which were 200 were male and 200 were female teachers. Out of the total sample, 200 teachers (100 male and 100 female) were from rural schools and 200 (100 male and 100 female) were from urban schools. Similarly, 200 teachers were taken from government schools and 200 were taken from private managed but recognized schools. All these teachers were administered Emotional Competency Scale devised by Bhardwaj and Sharma for measuring emotional maturity. The results reveal that significant differences exist on some dimensions of emotional competency between male and female teachers, rural and urban school teachers as well as teachers of the government and private schools.
