In order to fulfill the conceptual and sample research gap, the investigator is very much interested to measure the work efficacy level of teacher educators thereby locating their present status and to develop suitable measures for improving their efficacy level. For that the researcher adopted Sanjyot Pethe, Sushama Chaudhari, & Upinder Dhar(1999)  for measuring work efficacy level of  600 sample as teacher educators selected based on the stratified random sampling technique from 40 colleges of education in four districts of Tamilnadu  such as Namakkal, Dharmapuri, Salem and  Krishnagiri with simple objectives. The descriptive analysis revealed that teacher educators has average work efficacy. The normal distribution of the curve is slightly deviates from its normality. The differential analysis confirmed that age is significantly influencing work efficacy of teacher educators. So it is need to develop suitable implicative measures that are necessary for improving the work efficacy of teacher educators.
