JYOTI JUYAL (5514-5519) The standard of education and educational organisation for sure depends above all on the quality and competence of its teachers. .Whatever means or ways are adopted for improving the system of education nothing can be achieved if the concerned teachers working in the system do not possess the necessary intellectual, professional and ethical abilities.

** Significant at 0.05 and 0.01 level of significance It is apparent from the data presented in the above table-1 that the value of „t‟ (10.371) is found significant at 0.01 level of confidence for df 138 for government schools teachers. It means two groups of the teachers of government schools namely GP1 high scoring group on Organisational Achievement Test and GP2 low scoring group on Organisational Achievement Test differ significantly on their Academic Profile Schedule. Mean academic profile scores of the teachers belonging to high organisational achievement group is higher than their counterparts teachers which indicates that high academic profile contributes towards higher organisational achievement. There is significant impact of government school teachers academic profile on organisational achievement. Table No. 1 shows that obtained t value for aided school teachers is 15.629 which is significant at 0.01 level of confidence for degree of freedom of 138. It means two groups of the teachers of aided schools namely GP1 high scoring group on Organisational Achievement Test and GP2 low scoring group on Organisational Achievement Test differ significantly on their Academic Profile Schedule. Mean academic profile scores of the teachers belonging to high organisational achievement group are higher than their counterpart teachers. There is significant impact of aided school teachers‟ academic profile on organisational achievement. Table-1 shows that obtained t value for unaided school teachers is 8.573, which is significant at 0.01 level of confidence for degree of freedom of 138. It means two groups of the teachers of unaided schools namely GP1 high scoring group on Organisational Achievement Test and GP2 low scoring group on Organisational Achievement Test differ significantly on their Academic Profile Schedule. Mean academic profile score of the teachers belonging to high organisational achievement group is higher than their counterpart. There is significant impact of unaided school teachers‟ academic profile on organisational achievement. The „t‟ value when computed for the senior secondary school teachers was found to be 19.145 which is highly significant at 0.01 level of significance. The value of mean for academic profile of teachers belonging to higher organisational achievement GP 1 is higher than GP2.It means that two groups of teachers i.e. GP1 and GP2 differ significantly on their academic profile. There is significant impact of teachers academic profile on organisational achievement. MAY-JUNE 2017, VOL- 4/31

SRJIS/BIMONTHLY/ DR. JYOTI JUYAL (5514-5519) The Major Findings of the present study are as follows
There is significant impact of government school teachers‟ academic profile on organisational achievement.
There is significant impact of aided school teachers‟ academic profile on organisational achievement.
There is significant impact of unaided school teachers‟ academic profile on organisational achievement.
There is significant impact of teachers‟ academic profile on organisational achievement.
Conclusions of the study These findings can be interpreted as, those teachers who have a good academic profile perform well and gives good result in academic achievement of the organisation. On the basis of above findings the null hypothesis that, “There is no significant impact of teachers academic profile on organisational achievement” is rejected. The above finding suggests good academic profile puts positive impact on organisational achievement. The possible reasons for this may be that better the academic profile better will be the knowledge, understanding, application and explanation of the teacher regarding the subject. Taking part in refresher courses, seminars, various in-service programmes and other events add to the effectiveness of the teacher and hence the high organizational achievement. Implications of the Study The study has yielded certain results which seem to have serious implications in the field of education. Thus, this study may also help and provide guidelines for the improvement in the field of education. It may help management, administrations, principals and teachers in an acceptable manner.
While recruiting management can look for the teachers with good academic profile.
Teachers should always try to improve their academic profile. Teacher should take part in various in-service programmes, refresher courses, workshops etc. to improve his/her academic profile because this would help him in achieving his goal of good results in schools/ board exams. Good results in turn will improve his self-concept and thus further enhancement in output.
