Organizational Commitment, Work-Life Balance and Teachers’ Effectiveness In School Teachers

Abstract

Modern day life has many problems within different dimensions and keep up a crucial Work-Life Balance (WLB) along with a strong Organizational Commitment (OC), of which one is a part of WLB is the degree to which individuals prioritise the professional and personal responsibilities in their lives, as well as the presence of work-related activities in their homes. Work life equilibrium can impact numerous factors, including satisfaction on job, commitment towards the organisation and, of course, performance on job. WLB allows for healthy compartmentalization of work and hence can possibly be hypothesized to affect Teacher Effectiveness (TE) in the workplace. Similarly, organizational commitment may be understood as the psychological attachment or bond an individual may have to an organization. The bond is important as it can allow increased feeling of belongingness to the organization and increased motivation to work harder. The study aims to investigate how OC and WLB relate to teachers' effectiveness in a school set up. The results suggest statistically significant positive association between organisational commitment and TE. Further, a significant positive link was also found between OC and WLB. Although, no significant association was found between teachers’ effectiveness and WLB.
