Abstract

In recent times, the need for institutions of higher education (HEI) has increased manifold in developing nations like India. The need, demand, and importance saw a mushrooming of HEIs in India in the first decade of this century. However, the survival of many of such institutions is at stake owing to lack of a committed workforce. The situation is graver in the hill states of India where the climate is ardent, infrastructure is poor and opportunities for growth and development are less. Many employees in these places leave their organisations in search of greener pasture in cosy developed metropolitan cities of plains. There is a dearth of employees having voluntary commitment in such places. HEIs in Uttrakhand (a hilly state in the North India) too are coping with the same menace. There is a dearth of committed employees. Commitment however cannot be developed overnight and requires transformational leadership and motivational job characteristics. In this study, the roles of transformational leadership (TL) and job characteristics (JC) in fostering organisational commitment (OC) in HEIs of Uttarakhand, India have been examined.
