Relationship between Innovative Work Behaviour and Teachers’ Commitment in The Business Studies Program of Edo State Public Secondary School
Abstract
With the dynamism in the educational landscape and with emphasis on the curriculum offerings, the need for business studies teachers to show commitment and display creative ideas at the workplace becomes imperative. The study looked at how Edo State business studies teachers' innovative work behavior (IWB) and commitment relate to one another. At the 0.05 level of significance, three hypotheses were put forth and examined. The study employed a cross-sectional correlational survey design. 306 business studies teachers from Edo State's public secondary schools participated in the study. 153 teachers were chosen from the state's three senatorial districts using a multi-stage sampling approach. Experts in business studies validated the structured questionnaires used to obtain the data. Cronbach's alpha was used to confirm the instruments' dependability, and the results showed a reliability coefficient of 0.81. With the aid of SPSS software version 26.0, data analysis was carried out utilizing regression analysis, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The findings demonstrated a strong correlation between business studies teachers' innovative work behaviour and commitment (such as affective, continuation, and normative). Based on these findings, it was recommended that teachers should be encouraged to source and generates new ideas that can positively impact on the teachers in Business Studies’ programme
