Impact of Work Motivation, Organizational Commitment on Performance of Radiologic Technology Faculty in Private Universities and Colleges in Calabarzon

The study analyzed the impact of work motivation and organizational commitment on the performance of radiologic technology faculty in private universities and colleges in CALABARZON, Philippines. It provided insights on how work motivation and organizational commitment along with key factors impacted the performance of radiologic technology faculty in private universities and colleges. It also aimed to contribute to the existing body of literature and provide valuable insights for educational leaders and policymakers aiming to enhance faculty performance in this field. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, the study involved 119 radiologic technology faculty of 16 universities and colleges selected through stratified random sampling. Work motivation, organizational commitment, and performance were assessed using a researcher-made questionnaire. The study found that the faculty members' levels of motivation were high across various dimensions, including extrinsic and intrinsic factors, autonomy and control, work environment, and professional growth. The study also revealed that faculty members’ organizational commitment was high, with affective, continuance, and normative commitment all being significant. However, continued professional development, especially in integrating emerging pedagogical techniques and technology-enhanced learning strategies, is necessary to maintain and enhance teaching effectiveness. Key findings also indicated that work motivation positively correlates with both organizational commitment and performance. As work motivation increases, so does organizational commitment and faculty performance. Additionally, work environment and professional growth, along with affective and continuance commitment, were significant predictors of performance. These findings underscore the importance of creating a supportive work environment and fostering professional growth to enhance faculty performance in the field of radiologic technology education.
