The sampling frame of the study included 325 teachers (male= 62, female 263) from rural, semi urban and urban institutions. The scale used for the study is the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) developed by Fred Luthans, et al., (2007) and Professional Commitment developed and standardized by Ravinder Kaur et al., (2011). Samples were collected using questionnaire method with the self – prepared socio demographic details. Convenient sampling method is used to collect samples. The result of the study showed that there is a significant difference between male and female teachers in psychological capital, female teachers show high psychological capital. Professional commitment also shows significant difference based on locality, that is, professional commitment is low among rural teachers. The study showed the influence of socio demographic variables in psychological capital and professional commitment, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to enhance psychological capital and commitment among teachers, particularly in certain subgroups.
