Abstract:
This study examined the influence of teachers' organizational commitment and awareness of School-Based Management (SBM) implementation on school performance across 14 elementary schools in the Vincenzo Sagun District. Employing a descriptive-predictive research design, the investigation utilized two primary data sources: (1) a questionnaire checklist administered to teacher-respondents to assess their level of awareness of SBM implementation and their degree of organizational commitment, and (2) secondary data derived from the National Achievement Test (NAT) Mean Percentage Score (MPS), which served as the basis for evaluating school performance. A simple random sampling method, under a non-probability sampling framework, was employed to select 60 teachers from a population of 120. The findings revealed that teachers in the district demonstrated a very high level of awareness regarding SBM implementation, with a general weighted mean score of 3.85 across four evaluated components. Similarly, results indicated a very high level of organizational commitment among teachers, with a general weighted mean score of 3.89, measured across the dimensions of commitment to school, teaching work, occupation, and work group. The results underscore the potential predictive value of teacher commitment and SBM awareness in enhancing academic outcomes and provide implications for improving participatory school governance and instructional leadership.
