| Abstract: Teachers job commitment cannot be overemphasized as it could be reflected in the students’ academic performance. Researchers have observed that the teachers’ job commitment is dwindling recently which may be due to so many factors. This study examined the influence of organizational commitment and gender differences on job commitment among Oyo State public secondary school teachers. Three (3) questions and hypotheses were proposed, three hundred forty (324) teachers were sampled using a multistage sampling procedure with a simple random sampling technique, data were collected using a self-created instrument, and a pilot study was conducted to test the instrument's reliability. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Test of hypothesis one on the combined influence of organizational commitment on the job commitment of public secondary school teachers in Oyo State showed a significant result at (F = 94.456; P<0.05), while the test of hypothesis two on the relative influence of organizational commitment on the job commitment of Oyo State public secondary school teachers showed Affective Organizational Commitment (Beta =0.252, t = 9.020, P<0.05), Normative Organizational Commitment (Beta = 0.145, t = 5.134, P<0.05) and Continuance Organizational Commitment (Beta = 0.039, t = 2.139, P<0.05). Furthermore, the gender difference in teachers’ job commitment in Oyo State public secondary schools is significant (P< 0.05). It was concluded that there was a significant combined influence of organizational commitment and gender on the job commitment of public secondary school teachers in Oyo State. Similarly, it was found that female teachers are more committed than males. Therefore, the Nigerian government and education stakeholders should work together to provide measures to support the affective component of organizational commitment among public secondary school teachers in Oyo State. |
