Journal Title: İzmir Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Organisational climate and teacher commitment are a few critical factors that explained the effectiveness of a school. However, there is lack of study concerning the relationship between school’s organisational climate and teacher commitment. Therefore, there is a need to carry out study that can contribute to an expansion of theory that explains the relationship between organisational climate and commitment. Hence, this study focuses on the relationship between school’s organisational climate and teacher commitment. This study utilising cross sectional descriptive study design, with purposive sampling that involved 375 teachers from 167 secondary schools in Sarawak, Malaysia. Two survey instruments were used in this study, namely, the Organizational Climate Index (OCI) and the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ). The four dimensions in the school’s organisational climate (i.e. collegial leadership, teacher professionalism, academic press and institutional vulnerability) were the independent variables. While the teacher commitment served as the dependent variable. The results of this study indicated that school’s organisational climate is significantly related to teacher commitment. Dimensions such as collegial leadership, teacher professionalism and academic press have positive significant relationship with teacher commitment. On the contrary, institutional vulnerability was found to have no relationship with teacher commitment. In addition, this study also showed that the most dominant predictor of teacher commitment is the teacher professionalism. In conclusion, the results of this study revealed that there is a strong academic expectancy variable in teacher commitment. The results contributed in giving a rise to some practical implications for principals, teachers, parents and academics.
