Technical education plays a vital role in India, where it has helped improve the country's economy and plays a vital part in its ongoing development. Originally, technical education in India was provided exclusively by government‐operated institutes, but increasing demand for technically qualified personnel led to the establishment of private technical schools. Although both government‐owned and privately owned technical institutes are subject to oversight by the All India Council for Technical Education, considerable differences exist between the two. A comparative study of public and private technical schools in India indicates that teachers in government‐owned technical education institutes tend to be more committed to their organizations than their counterparts in privately owned technical education institutes. This suggests that there is a difference between the policy framework, work environment, monetary and nonmonetary incentives, organizational culture, and leadership that prevail in the two types of educational organizations. ©2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
