Alipio, Mark (2020): A Structural Model of Organizational Commitment among Higher Education Economics Educators.

Abstract

This study was conducted to explore a structural model of organizational commitment among higher education Economics educators. Using a cross-sectional survey design, a sample of 871 higher education Economics educators were recruited to answer questionnaires. A structural model of organizational commitment among higher education Economics educators was developed with acceptable indices. Organizational commitment was highly correlated with leadership behavior and burnout. When predictive values were assessed, leadership behavior and burnout were found to positively influence the organizational commitment among higher education Economics educators in the Philippines. The findings significantly substantiate the body of knowledge pertaining to Economics education. Discussion of the pertinent findings and implications for future studies were laid in this paper.
