Description This study is aimed to explore the effect of equity sensitivity of secondary school teachers on their organizational commitment. Teaching is a tough job that requires patience and dedication as teachers devote their time, efforts, and energy to the betterment of their students, and in return, they need a good salary package and appreciation from their management. Teaching is not a rewarding job as most schools offer low salary packages to their teachers. This low salary package affects each teacher differently and leads him/her to determine his/her commitment and association with the institution in which he/she serves.
