JOB SATISFACTION, ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE: STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODEL OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AMONG PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS

Lyndon A. Quines, Editha I. Arendain

Abstract


The desire of teachers to support students and assume responsibility for their education is embraced by the concept of teacher’s organizational commitment. The idea of teachers' organizational commitment embraces teachers' desire to assist students and take ownership of their education. To determine how happy they were with their positions, how they felt about the business culture, how balanced work and family life were, and how devoted they were to the organization, this study looked at 420 public school teachers in the Davao Region. Furthermore, it analyzed the associations between the factors. A structure-equation model was used to determine work-life balance, job satisfaction, and organizational culture that matched teachers' organizational commitment. The discoveries uncovered high degrees of hierarchical commitment, the balance between serious and fun activities, authoritative culture, and occupation fulfillment. Important relationships were between work-life balance, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. Organizational culture and organizational commitment were also important relationships. Lastly, there was a good fit for the teachers' organizational commitment regarding work-life balance, organizational support, and professional pride. These factors included organizational culture, employee management, and strategic emphasis. Therefore, job satisfaction, organizational commitment and work life balance were strong predictors of organizational commitment. In order to prevent teacher turnover in this profession, it was advised that schools always support teachers' ongoing professional development, which can be done through seminars and training.
