Abstract
Faculty members are crucial staff members in higher education institutions, and they play a direct role in achieving the institution's vision, mission, and objectives. Therefore, it is essential to recognize the organizational factors that can affect their behavior within the organization. This study explored the connections between the faculty's perceptions of organizational support, organizational climate, and organizational justice, and their commitment and job satisfaction. The ultimate goal of this research was to enhance the current knowledge on organizational effectiveness and contribute towards formulating policies aimed at improving faculty productivity in state universities. This quantitative research used survey questionnaire with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.91. A total of 207 or 70% of the faculty of Palawan State University, Puerto Princesa City, Philippines served as respondents. To comply with research ethics, respondent’s voluntary participation was respected while the confidentiality of data and anonymity of the respondents were strictly adhered. Regression analysis discloses the moderate significant relationships of commitment to perceived organizational climate (.376); and job satisfaction to perceived organizational justice (.376) at 0.01 level and the strong significant relationships of job satisfaction to perceived organizational support (.731) and perceived organizational climate (.737) at 0.01 level. The presence of positive beta coefficients indicates that as faculty members have more favorable views of the organizational factors, their commitment and job satisfaction levels also increase. Finally, this study reveals that organizational climate predicts commitment while organizational support, justice and climate all predict job satisfaction.
