Work Engagement, Organizational Commitment, Leadership Style, and Productivity of Employees in a Community College

This study examined employee productivity at Tagoloan Community College by analyzing the influence of work engagement, organizational commitment, and leadership style on faculty, administrative, and support staff performance. A descriptive-correlational and causal research design was employed involving 125 employees selected through stratified random sampling from a population of 214. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Results showed that employees demonstrated high levels of work engagement and organizational commitment, with vigor and normative commitment emerging as the strongest dimensions. Transformational leadership received the highest ratings and exerted a significant positive influence on employee productivity. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between productivity and work engagement, organizational commitment, and leadership style. Regression findings identified vigor, absorption, normative commitment, and leadership style as the strongest predictors of employee productivity. The findings indicate that motivational factors, employee commitment, and effective leadership practices largely drive productivity in higher education institutions. Creating supportive work environments, strengthening transformational leadership, and encouraging employee involvement can enhance institutional effectiveness. These results provide practical guidance for administrators in developing human resource policies and leadership development programs and offer a foundation for future research on strategies to improve.
