Dr. Mujahid Ali, Assistant Professor

Abstract
The involvement of physical education teachers in their jobs is an important area of investigation, as job involvement is believed to enhance both performance and effectiveness, regardless of the nature of the work. Professionals who are highly involved in their jobs generally experience greater job satisfaction. Physical education teachers, in particular, can significantly contribute to their students' well-being. Despite this, research on the job involvement of physical education teachers is limited, and the investigator did not find any prior studies specifically on this topic. To address this gap, the current study focuses on job involvement as a key variable. It was conducted among college and school physical education teachers from various institutions in the Moradabad and Bareilly zones (Mandals) of Uttar Pradesh. The Job Involvement Scale, developed and standardized by Singh in 1984, was used to measure job involvement. This scale comprises 54 items, each with four response options: strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree. Data analysis was performed using the 't' test. The findings of the study revealed significant differences in job involvement between college physical education teachers and their counterparts in schools.
