GUIDELINES FOR ENHANCING ORGANIZATION LOYALTY OF TEACHERS UNDER THE SECONDARY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AREA OFFICE NONG KHAI

Abstract

Abstract

          This research aimed 1) to study the actual state, desirable state, and needs for enhancing organizational loyalty among teachers, and 2) to explore approaches for fostering organizational loyalty among teachers under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office in NongKhai. This descriptive research used questionnaires and interviews with a sample of 266 teachers.

          The findings revealed that the actual state of organizational loyalty among teachers under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office in NongKhai was at a moderate level overall, while the desirable state was at the highest level overall. The data analysis showed that the actual state had a lower mean than the desirable state across all aspects. The needs for enhancing teachers' organizational loyalty were ranked as follows: 1) behavior towards the organization (PNIModified = 0.517), 2) being part of the organization (PNIModified = 0.512), 3) perception of organizational goals and values (PNIModified = 0.489), and 4) feeling of attachment to the organization (PNIModified = 0.432). Key approaches for fostering teachers' organizational loyalty were: 1) assigning special tasks suitable for individuals with mentors to supervise and administrators to provide advice, along with morale support; 2) superiors acting as good role models adhering to communal benefits; 3) establishing organizational goals and vision with reflections; and 4) teacher and administrator participation in operations with assigned responsibilities and fair considerations of merit.
