Abstract
The study examined continuance commitment and teachers’ performance in secondary schools in Rivers State. One research question and one hypothesis guided the study. The study adopted the correlational design as the working design. The population comprised 247 principals from the 247 secondary schools in Rivers State and a sample size of 152 principals drawn with multistage sampling approach representing 62% of principals. The principals responded to two structured validated instruments titled Continuance Commitment Questionnaire (CCQ) and Teachers’ Performance Questionnaire (TPQ) designed by the researcher. The reliability coefficient of the instrument using cronbach alpha method was 0.60. Simple regression was used to answer the research question while t-test associated with simple regression was used to test the null hypotheses. Findings of the study showed that Continuance commitment predicted 4% of teachers’ performance in secondary schools and it was also revealed that there was no significant contribution between continuance commitment and teachers’ performance in secondary schools in Rivers State. It was concluded that affective commitment predicts 12.80% of teachers’ performance in secondary schools in Rivers State. The remaining 87.20% cannot be accounted by affective commitment. This shows that continuance commitment predicts 4% of teachers’ performance in secondary schools in Rivers State. The remaining 96% cannot be accounted by continuance commitment. There was no significant contribution between affective commitment and teachers’ performance in secondary schools in Rivers State. It was therefore recommended that a forum should be created by the principals where teachers are given opportunity to talk about their challenges, make suggestions and recommendations for better performance.
