Collaboration and Empowerment as Predictors of Organizational Commitment among Catholic Basic Education Teachers

Abstract

Organizational commitment remains a global challenge. Collaboration and empowerment were examined as predictors of teachers’ organizational commitment. Using predictive design, involving 237 private elementary and high school teachers selected through total enumeration, the results showed that the model predicting organizational commitment, with collaboration and empowerment as predictors, is significant. Hence, the Social Exchange Theory was fully affirmed. Future studies may replicate this research and use qualitative methods to identify additional variables that may improve predictions of organizational commitment
