Predicting Effect of Job Security, Instructional Strategies and Organizational Commitment on Teacher Performance: A Path Analysis

Teacher performance is crucial for career progression within the Department of Education, demonstrating teachers’ commitment to effective instruction and job security to meet organizational goals. Therefore, this study aimed to provide valuable insights into the predictive effects of job security, instructional strategies, and organizational commitment on teachers’ performance using path analysis. A quantitative research design was employed, involving 161 respondents and adopted research instruments. Mean and standard deviation, multiple regression, and path analysis were the statistical tools used to examine the relationships among the variables. The findings revealed that respondents frequently experienced job security in the workplace and were highly committed to their assigned schools. Additionally, interactive and experiential instructional strategies were consistently implemented in lesson delivery. The regression analysis indicated that job resources, along with interactive and experiential instructional strategies, were positively associated with teaching performance, suggesting that providing adequate resources to educators and incorporating these strategies into their teaching methods may lead to better performance. The path analysis showed that job security had a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment, and there was a significant positive relationship between instructional strategies and teachers’ performance. The relationship between job security and teachers’ performance was minimal in this study, while effective instructional strategies improved teachers’ performance. Overall, the results suggest that effective teaching practices are closely tied to enhanced performance outcomes, corroborating findings that noted well-prepared teachers significantly contribute to student achievement. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of fostering job security to enhance organizational commitment and adopting effective instructional strategies to improve teacher performance. Educational institutions may benefit from focusing on these aspects to create a more committed and effective workforce.
