ABSTRACT

This study explores the critical role of enhancing staff commitment in secondary schools and a strategic framework for sustainable educational development. Staff commitment is essential for achieving long-term educational success. The study examined the significance of staff commitment in achieving educational goals, including improved teaching effectiveness and student performance, positive institutional culture and teamwork, and enhanced organizational stability and retention. The study further highlighted the perspective of staff commitment, such as affective, continuance, and normative commitment. The study underscores the factors influencing staff commitment in secondary schools, which include organizational factors, personal factors, and external factors. The framework outlines key strategies to foster motivation, job satisfaction, and dedication among teachers and non-teaching staff. By implementing this framework, secondary schools can not only improve teacher satisfaction and retention but also contribute to better student outcomes, thus fostering a more sustainable and effective educational system. The study concluded that dedicated and motivated teachers create a positive learning environment, improve student outcomes, and contribute to the overall success of the education system. One of the recommendations provided was that schools should provide a conducive working environment by ensuring adequate classroom facilities, teaching resources, and a supportive administrative structure to enhance staff motivation and productivity.
