ABSTRACT

—— Organizational Commitment (OC) can be defined as the extent of involvement of an employee in the organization with the desire to work, an obligation of working and having no intent to leave. A high level of organizational commitment can lead to improvement in the performance and efficiency of an employee in accomplishing the tasks and goals of the school governance. This study was conducted among elementary teachers during post-pandemic time in the Division of Davai City. Though overall commitment of teachers is more because of a better opportunity of growth, promotion, quality of work-life and healthy working conditions. Test is conducted to derive the factors which influence the relationship between OC and school governance. Good school governance was constructed by seven (7) constructs namely transparency, accountability, responsibility, participation, autonomy, equality, predictability, and dynamism. The research has affirmed that good school governance facilitates the participation of teachers and educational staff in the decision-making process. Good school governance improves the decision-making quality through the empowerment of teachers, the delegation of authority, and the encouragement of shared decision-making. There are certain factors that could have been included in the study i.e. like personality traits of an employee, and school principals but still the analysis shows that schools provide more opportunity of raising teacher’s commitment.
