Abstract
Effects of school identity and teacher self-concept as indicators to commitment were examined. A total of 223 elementary, middle, and high school teachers from 7 northwest Florida schools completed instruments and interviews. Teachers’ school (organizational) identities, measured by the Organizational Identification Scale, were combined with their self-concepts, measured by the Adult Self-Perception Profile, to predict 63% in the variance of commitment at work, measured by the Occupational Commitment Questionnaire. Findings indicated a significant relationship between school identity and teacher commitment (.78), between teacher self-concept and commitment (.21), but not between school identity and teacher self-concept (.13). Teachers valued most highly interactions with students; 66% noted the need to be recognized, praised, and respected as professionals.
