Abstract

When people believe that they are able to do anything assigned to them, their motivation to work harder and they feel that the work place perceived like their home in term of high in organizational commitment. So, when it would be generalized to school as an organization, then it could be a problem for this research. Considering this problem, a causal survey used by selecting 100 senior high school biological teachers as sample. Teachers self-efficacy, motivation and organizational commitment measured by instruments which have been validated. Data analyzed by apllying regression, correlation and path analysis. Research results indicated that the connection between self-efficacy and organizational commitment (OC) has been significantly supported by empirical data and significantly mediated by motivation as well. If it was discussed or talked about motivation, the factor such as self-efficacy could not be neglected rather each of these, such as self-efficacy and motivation directly affect teachers OC. That is why when school system would like to reduce the number of teachers withdraw intention, therefore, teachers OC should be strengthened by considering that teachers’ self-efficacy and motivation to be well managed for improving biological teachers quality, in particular.
