Khan, Nadia
Journal of Education and Educational Development, v6 n2 p327-342 Dec 2019
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between school climate and teachers' commitment and the impact of key dimensions of school climate, which are collegial leadership, academic achievement, teachers' professionalism and institutional vulnerability on teachers' commitment. These factors are directly related with efficiency and effectiveness of school. Organizational Climate Index (OCI) developed by Hoy, Smith, and Sweetland and the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) developed by Mowday, Steers, and Porter were used as the survey instruments. Data were collected from 230 elementary private school teachers for the study. The results indicated a relationship between school climate and teacher's commitment. The results of the regression analysis revealed that the collegial leadership and institutional vulnerability are the predictors of teachers' commitment. The findings of the study can contribute to develop insights for school administrators and principals to make necessary interventions to develop a positive school climate.
