The study was carried on faculty members working in teacher training colleges in Tehran and education colleges in Mysore University. About 285 survey questionnaires were distributed in Tehran in 2011.Multiple follow ups yielded 245 statistically usable questionnaires. And also About 165 survey questionnaires were distributed in Mysore. Multiple follow ups yielded 134 statistically usable questionnaires. Correlation coefficient was used to confirming the research hypothesis. Test statistics revealed that in overall job satisfaction and organizational commitment are significantly and positively related. In case of Mysore sample, when correlation coefficients were calculated for teachers it was found that job satisfaction was significantly and positively correlated with organizational commitment. In the case of Iranian teachers it was also found that job satisfaction was significantly and positively correlated with organizational commitment. Standard measures were used to measure organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Since respondents were from education colleges in Mysore University and teacher training colleges in Tehran only so the findings cannot be generalized to faculty members of secondary level teacher training programme in both countries.
