Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic is another kind of sever pandemic declared by the WHO worldwide, and as a result, sudden lockdown was imposed in India. It has imposed mental stress and anxiety and caused a behavioural change in life of people. Due to nationwide lockdown, teaching is also suspended. As a result, teaching and examination in higher education is most adversely affected due to the end of the academic session amidst lockdown. The change in the behaviour of faculty of higher education is expected during this period of uncertainty. So, questions here arise: what are the factors which are going to impact the behaviour of faculty of higher education during lockdown? And what factors are independent and what are the dependent factors which are going to be analysed for the purpose of the present study. The objective of the chapter is to empirically study the behaviour of the faculty of higher education of India due to COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Self-structured questionnaire has been framed to empirically explore factors indicating their behaviour and their inter-relationship. Principal component analysis was used for the extraction of factors, and SEM was used for building the influence among factors. The first part of the chapter shows the extraction of five factors which indicate the behaviour of faculty during lockdown and the second part states that there exists significant impact of four extracted independent factors, i.e. e-learning, anxiety and dissatisfaction, concern for students; health consciousness and precautionary measures on the harmonious lifestyle which has been considered as dependent factor in this study. The results of the study would be more informative for the higher education administration to have various important decisions related to its faculty well-being during lockdown.
