I. INTRODUCTION turn changing the environment in a healthy, effective

This concept of adjustment was originally a biological one
and was used in Darwin‘s theory of evolution. It means
being in harmony with the environment or being or one with
the environment adjustment means adaptation to reality.
Adjustment in simple words can be defined as satisfactory
relations of an organism to its environment.
Adjustment was regarded as little more than the avoidance
of maladjustment but then became a goal for therapy with
the emergence of the humanistic approaches to
psychotherapy. Adjustment refers to the individual
achieving a harmonious balance with the demands of both
environment and cognition,
According to Encyclopedia of psychology- Adjustment is
state in which the needs of the individual on the other hand
are fully satisfied.
Adjustment is generally the relationship that any organism
establishes with respect to its environment. The term usually
refers to social or psychological adjustment and when used
in this sense it carries clear connotation that is adjusted. The
implication is that the individual is in a rich, on going
process of developing, his or her potential, reaction to and I
manner.
II. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Mekinney (2014) says a well adjusted individual can meet
his needs with the resources available in his environment.
Needs are specially determined by the cultural milieu in
which one lives. In evaluation the adjustment we must
consider all the movies, all the habit attitude which are used
to satisfy organize social and personal demands i.e. entire
personality is to be considered.
According to dictionary meaning, ‗‗to adjust means to be fit,
to make correspondent to adoption to accommodate‘‘
Sometimes psychologists like Gates (2015) view that
‗‗Adjustment is continual process by which a person varies
his behaviour to produce a more harmonious relationship
between himself and his environment.‘‘ The conditions in
the environment are in a continuous chain of change. We
change ourselves in order to fit ourselves in the realm of
nature. Thus the process of adjustment is a continuous
process. We try to change or modify our behaviour for
bringing a perfect understanding between ourselves and our
environment. For example if an urban girl married to a rural

boy and is made to live a village life she has to change her
behaviour, her habits and her way of life for accommodating
herself in the changed circumstances.
Bhatia and Purohit (2016) consider that adjustment is
directly connected with needs and problems of life and
refers to the behaviour patterns through which those needs
are satisfied or problems are solved habitually.
Patil (2016) Adjustment is one of the most important parts
of human life. The process of adjustment starts from the
birth of the child and it continues throughout the life. So,
adjustment is the relationship between and individual and
his environment.
Kaur Manjeet(2017) Adjustment refers to a harmonious
relationship between the person and the environment. The
degree of harmony is in part dependent on certain
potentialities within the person and in part upon the nature
of the environment. Teacher is a key figure in the life of a
nation. For many reasons, he has a unique place in society.
The member of no other profession is so intimately involved
in the lives of almost all the people of the community. It is
so, involved in the task of improving the community, its
economical, political social and cultural life as a teacher.
Rani, Dimpal and Monika (2017) The teacher has not only
to play varied roles in the school and the classroom, but also
the teacher should help their students to develop the capacity
to play different roles in the school and in the larger society
as well. So, the adjustment and the maladjustment of a
teacher cast more depending effect on the community and
the nation.
Larson and bruce (2017) Quality of nation depends upon
the quality of teacher. The quality of teacher is judged his
work and behaviour which in turn depends upon the degree
of his maladjustment may prove helpful in controlling the
hazards and bringing improvement in the field of education.
Oliver and Paull (2017) Adjustment in such a way is a stat
of a person where he tries to keep his needs in the way of
gratification within the requirement of various situations in
his environment. But in no way adjustment should be taken
as a one way process. An individual tries to keep balance
between himself and his environment by his personality.
Adjustment of a teacher is vital necessity for the welfare of
the students and the nation.
III. AREAS OF ADJUSTMENT
In the case of an individual should consist of personal as
well as environmental components. These two aspects of
adjustment can be further subdivided inter smaller aspects of
personal and environmental factors. For example, Bell
(1998) has taken five areas or more dimensions in his
adjustment inventory namely home, health, social,
emotional and occupational.
Personal Adjustment

Personally adjusted person is one who has understanding
with others and himself and the response of other to his
stimulating factory.
Professional Adjustment
Professional adjusted person in one who is able to meet is
able to meet the demands made upon him by the society and
environment. The individual who is able to adjust himself in
the change situation in his environment where he works is
professionally adjusted.
Social Adjustment
Social adjustment is determined by how adequately the
individual plays the social role that expected by him and
how much personal satisfaction to derives from playing his
role.
IV. NEED OF THE STUDY
In the present society unemployment, shifts in structure and
function of society competitiveness, population explosion
has given rise to an increasing strain on the individual
resulting in the problem of adjustment. The quality of nation
depends to a larger extent upon its guest faculty teachers.
Education is a powerful instrument for the social, political,
economic and cultural development of a country and the
success of any educational process, to a great extent depend
on the character, ability and personality of a guest faculty
teacher. It is the teacher upon who rests the task of
developing the sense of adjustment among pupils and it can
be done successfully only when teacher himself adjusted
with the environment.
An adjusted guest faculty teacher was have a positive
attitude towards his profession and was in a position to
acquire modern sophisticated and scientific techniques of
teaching and was have a was to learn and subsequent impart
right type of education to his students. He can bring radical
changes in the development of a society as a whole. On the
other hand, maladjusted guest faculty teacher can be
incalculable harm to the nation by being partial to his
students.
The adjustment of a guest faculty teacher of utmost
importance in the educational processes it is the duty of the
teacher to train children for life‘s personal, social and
economic problems. Since the research studied in the field
of adjustment of life are scare, moreover, adjustment is a
crucial issue in the present social set up. Hence the study
entitled ‗‗personal, professional and social adjustment of the
teacher working in secondary school‘‘ has been undertaken.
