Impact of Social Support on Female Teachers Work Engagement and Organizational Commitment at Secondary School Level

Abstract

    This current research study was planned to study the impact of social support on female teachers' work engagement and organizational commitment at the secondary school level in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. This research study was conducted in three districts of the Malakand region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. All female teachers in public sector schools and private sector schools were taken as the population of the study. However, 1354 teachers were selected as the sample size.Standardized research instruments were used for data collection. A total of five alternative hypotheses were formulated. The correlation coefficient, regression analysis, means score comparison and t-test were used. The entire five hypotheses were accepted. A significant relationship was found between social support and female teachers' work engagement and organizational commitment. A significant difference was found between public school female teachers and private school female teachers regarding social support. It is recommended that proper family and institutional support may be provided to female teachers to work diligently. In future, researchers may extend this research work by taking some other work-related variables like psychological capital and emotional intelligence as moderators/mediators.

    Perceived social support, Work engagement, Organizational commitment.
