The study examined teacher effectiveness among teacher educators in relation to organisational climate. The sample in the study was 645 teacher educators from 96 private B.Ed. colleges affiliated to three state universities of Punjab i.e. Punjabi university, Patiala, Panjab University, Chandigarh and Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar were randomly selected by lottery method. The descriptive statistics such as mean, median, mode, S.D., skewness, kurtosis, quartile deviation and ANOVA and post-hoc were used to analyse the data. The results revealed (a) The teacher educators had average level of teacher effectiveness and perceived good organisational climate of the colleges. (b)The teacher effectiveness was high in better organisational climate, average in good organisational climate, and low in poor organisational climate. (c) The organisational climate was positively and significantly correlated with teacher effectiveness in male group, female group, rural college teacher educators, urban college teacher educators and in humanities stream teacher educators. The correlation between teacher effectiveness and organisational climate in science and commerce stream teacher educators was positive but not significant. On the basis of findings, it is suggested that the management should give autonomy to principal of the colleges to enhance teacher effectiveness and the academic freedom should be given to the teacher educators by creating conducive/democratic environment and by providing proper physical resources in the college.
