Abstract

As the emphasis on quality in the school system grows, the teaching profession is undergoing profound changes. There are several methods to characterize leadership styles within an organization, with creativity, innovation, continuous development, and change management being among the most prevalent; in today’s classrooms, this expression is gaining popularity. For these reasons, educators’ work lives are more laden with worry and uncertainty. There are still techniques to evaluate a teacher’s performance despite these obstacles. A career that was previously demanding has become even more so as a result of this abrupt change. As quality indicators, they are put in a situation where they must choose between employing tried-and-true teaching strategies or putting the needs of their pupils first. It is logical that under NEP 2020, there will be a greater level of teacher participation. This study examines the current context and future prognosis for teachers’ professional involvement. This literature study seeks to determine the elements that impact teachers’ commitment to their jobs and the children they teach. With a focus on quality, a setting that encourages new ideas, and the National Education Policy, 2020 being implemented, teacher work motivation must be a worry. Transitioning to a curriculum with a premium on learning is challenging and unavoidable. Therefore, it is imperative that instructors like their work. We investigate the reasons for employee commitment in a workplace and the outcomes of such commitment.
