Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of social compliance and social commitment in Blumer's interpretiveness in high school teachers. The method of the present study is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all high school teachers in Ardabil in the academic year 2019-2020. A sample of 120 people was selected from this population by cluster random sampling method and they answered the researcher-made questionnaire of interpretiveness and social conformity and the questionnaire of social commitment. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression tests using SPSS 25 software. The results of correlation coefficient showed that interpretiveness has a positive and significant relationship with the total score of social compliance and social commitment (p <0.05). The results of regression analysis also showed that 11% of the total variance of interpretiveness is explained by social compliance and social commitment. Practically, due to the importance of social cohesion and social commitment, it is suggested to school principals, psychologists and counselors to hold training workshops to improve the adaptation and social commitment of teachers.
