QUANTIFYING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORKPLACE FACTORS AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AMONG COLLEGE INSTRUCTORS

EDUCATION

This study investigates the impact of workplace factors on organizational commitment among instructors at Davao Oriental State University's Faculty of Teacher Education (FTEd) using the Three-Component Model of Commitment, which examines affective, continuance, and normative dimensions. A correlational research design analyzed survey responses from 60 randomly selected instructors, revealing a significant positive relationship (Pearson's r = 0.700, p < .001) between workplace factors and organizational commitment. Job security and flexible work arrangements were highly rated, while leadership responsiveness, workload management, and resource availability emerged as areas needing improvement. Affective commitment was the strongest dimension, reflecting instructors' pride and emotional attachment to the institution, while continuance commitment highlighted gaps in job satisfaction and retention incentives. Normative commitment revealed a sense of loyalty and gratitude. The study underscores the need to improve leadership practices, workload management, and career development to enhance organizational commitment, contributing valuable insights to employee retention and satisfaction in educational institutions.
