Abstract:

The search for best models in organizational commitment is pressing educational leaders to play a vital role to address strategically on how to work out the commitment of the employees in the organization. Unfortunately, there is no specific leadership style. The study aimed to establish the correlation between the enlightened leadership of school administrators and organizational commitment of employees in Davao Oriental State College of Science and Technology. The author employed descriptive-correlational design that involved purposively 63 teaching personnel and 39 non-teaching force as main respondents, two sets of adopted survey questionnaires were used, validated, and verified with reliability tests to obtain data from the respondents. The findings revealed that the overall scale of enlightened leadership as well as the general level of organizational commitment were high. The academic position of teaching personnel had significant difference in the enlightened leadership while grouping age for non- teaching force had significant difference in the organizational commitment. Thus, the enlightened leadership was highly significantly correlated (p<0.05) to organizational commitment. The communicators and in-service of enlightened leadership are strong predictors to achieve organizational commitment.
