Abstract
This study examined the attitudes and level of commitment of lecturers towards teaching in tertiary educational institutions in south Eastern Nigeria. Five hypotheses guided the study. The sample consisted of 1991 lecturers and 828 students drawn through proportionate stratified random sampling techniques. Three sets of questionnaires, interviews and document analysis were the main research instruments employed in the study. Mean, mean set, rank order, t-test and ANOVA were employed to find solution to the research questions and test the hypotheses. The findings reveal, inter-alia, that there is no significant difference between male and female lecturers' attitudes and commitment to teaching in tertiary institutions. It is recommended that university authorities should start operating advancement procedures that reward both teaching and research so that lecturers are totally committed to their work .
