In the present study, an attempt has been made to understand the relationship between teacher effectiveness and temperament. Descriptive survey method of research was used for this study. The sample consisted of 427 secondary school teachers, which were randomly selected. Teacher Effectiveness and Gender constituted the independent classificatory variables while Temperament was criterion variable. Teacher Effectiveness Scale (TES) prepared by Kumar and Mutha (1974) and Dimensions of Temperament Scale (DTS) by Chadha and Chandana (1984) were used to collect data from the teachers. For testing the hypotheses, two-way-analysis of variance technique was employed. The analysis revealed that most effective teachers were found to be higher on three traits of temperament i.e. 'Ascendant', 'Accepting' and 'Tolerance' than least effective teachers. Gender differences were found on two temperaments viz. 'Cooperative' and 'Warmth'.
