Abstract Educators, especially teachers, have crucial commitment and leadership roles in the classroom to achieve success in developing empowered and productive students. These two attributes contribute to authentic and altruistic teaching necessary in bringing about transformation of students’ lives. This study was conducted in order to determine and analyze the work commitment and servant leadership levels of 160 teachers, chairpersons and deans of TEIs in SUCs of Region III using a descriptive-correlational study design. The educational attainment of the teachers was obtained and related to the work commitment and servant leadership of the respondents. Likewise, the work commitment level was related to the respondents’ servant leadership level. Mean and Pearson r were used to facilitate the analysis and interpretation of data. Findings revealed that 24% of the respondents possess doctorate degrees, 44% are master's degree holders, and 32% are still working towards the completion of their master's degree. On the level of work commitment, teachers generally displayed high level of commitment to towards their students (3.76); towards the community (3.71); and towards their profession (4.08). As to their level of servant leadership, findings show positive outcomes for observing ethics (4.58), conceptual skill (4.29), helping subordinates grow and succeed (4.18), empowering (4.15), emotional healing (4.12) and putting subordinates first (4.01). However, teachers need to improve more on creating value for community (3.49). Further findings show that educational attainment of the respondents was positively related to their commitment to students (.686), community (0.765) but not related to their commitment to their profession (0.451). Likewise, educational attainment was positively related to their servant leadership skills on conceptual skills (0.767), creating value for the community (0.776), emotional healing (0.687), helping subordinates grow (0.721), putting subordinates first (0.7210 but not positively related to ethics (0.379). Moreover, the work commitment level and the servant leadership of the respondents are positively related (0.822). A model for work commitment and servant leadership for teachers is proposed in this study. Top Keywords Work commitment, servant leadership, authentic teacher, altruistic teacher. Top |
