Assessing Organizational Commitment Among Teachers in MZED Christian School
Keywords:
education , Organizational Commitment, Three Component Model , Educational OrganizationAbstract
The study uses Meyer and Allen's Three-Component Model (TCM) to assess teachers' organizational commitment at MZed Christian School's Banawa and Mandaue campuses during the Academic Year 2024-2025. The TCM framework, which includes affective, continuance, and normative commitments, is used to measure teachers' organizational commitment to their school. Using a survey-based descriptive design, the study utilizes the TCM Employee Commitment Survey with a 7-point Likert scale to measure each commitment scale. The findings show that teachers have slightly high affective and normative commitments, implying that employees feel somewhat connected and positive towards the organization and feel a slight obligation to stay. However, continuance commitment is slightly low suggesting that employees recognize some costs of leaving, but not significant. These insights are vital for school administrators to develop strategies to foster teacher commitment and enhance organizational effectiveness and educational outcomes.
