There is a moderate relationship between area of work and motivational level of teachers; there is a strong relationship between area of work and commitment level of teachers. Conclusions: The motivational level of the respondents was found to be higher among the urban teachers as compared with the rural teachers. This may be due to how teachers handle and deal with the presenting problems and challenges in the teaching profession. The commitment level of the respondents was found to be higher among the urban teachers as compared with the rural teachers. .
