Organizational commitment in relation to leadership behaviors and the achievement of institutional goals / Marjorie S. Tangog-Gutierrez - January 2014 - Kaizen Research Journal 1, pages 1-51 .

The study determined if organizational commitment, leadership behaviors (ie., in terms of relations-oriented, task-oriented or laissez-faire oriented behaviors) and group dynamics among colleagues through the components of the TORI (Trust, Openness, Realization and Interdependence) model contribute to the achievement of institutional goals. The study used the descriptive survey method of research to determine the status of the organizational commitment, leadership behaviors (in terms of relations-oriented, task-oriented and laissez-fair practices) and TORI (Trust, Openness, Realization and Interdependence) components among faculty, non-teaching personnel and members of the school's administration and management. Moreover, the research looked into the extent of achievement of institutional goals among the respondent schools and ascertain if the variables organizational commitment, leadership styles and TORI components were determinants to the achievement of institutional goals. The results reveal a significant positive correlation between institutional goals and organizational commitment, specifically, affective commitment, continuance commitment, normative commitment; institutional goals and leadership behaviors, specifically, relations-oriented behaviors and task-oriented behaviors; and institutional goals and TORI component model, specifically Openness, Realization and Interdependence. Affective commitment shows a high correlation while the leadership behaviors show moderate correlation with institutional goals. Among the three (3) components of TORI, both Openness and Realization have low correlation while Interdependence shows moderate correlation. In addition to these, of the three dimensions of organizational commitment, the first determinant is affective commitment, the next is continuance commitment and the last is normative commitment. Based on leadership behaviors, only task-based behaviors significantly determine the achievement of institutional goals. As regards the TORI (Trust, Openness, Realization and Interdependence) component model, Trust is not a determinant to the achievement of institutional goals. However, Openness, Realization and Interdependence are significant determinants to the achievement of institutional goals.
