From Compliance to Commitment: A Quantitative Study of Educational Leadership’s Influence in Education

Abstract

This research seeks to explore the association between educational leadership behaviors, social interaction processes, and the development of organizational commitment among educators. The study will use a descriptive-correlational study approach. Moreover, it will utilize a descriptive-correlational research methodology to explore the association between “educational leadership behavior”s, “social exchange processes”, and the development of organizational commitment among educators. The study quantitatively examines these components to clarify the specific leadership practices and strategies that can facilitate the transition from compliance to commitment at Olivarez College. The results show that the educational leaders at Olivarez College are very good at transformational leadership and social interaction, and that the teachers are very committed to the COPC and AACCUP standards. The findings show a strong link between acts of transformative leaders and positive social interaction. There were no significant relationships observed between positive social interchange and organizational commitment, nor between “transformational leadership” attributes and organizational commitment. The research underscores the attributes of Olivarez College about leadership and social interchange among its educational leaders. However, it highlights the complexity of factors influencing organizational commitment, suggesting that leadership and social interaction may not serve as sufficient indicators of loyalty to business objectives. Further research is recommended to examine additional factors that may affect organizational commitment in educational settings. Therefore, Olivarez College should continue to build on its strengths in leadership and social interaction while also working on areas that need improvement, such as increasing organizational commitment.
