Abstract

This quantitative study aimed at analyzing the factors underlying the functional design of the teachers of educational institutions in the Al Batinah Governorate, north of the Sultanate of Oman. The problem lies in the lack of adoption of modern trends and developments by those involved in job design, which has negatively affected organizational commitment and job satisfaction, and the obstacles to job satisfaction and organizational commitment are still many. Therefore, the study aimed to diagnose levels of job design, job satisfaction and job commitment. It also aimed to analyze the effect of job design on job satisfaction and organizational commitment of male and female teachers. The researcher used the descriptive and analytical approach, which is based on collecting data on job design and related elements and measuring the correlations between the variables of the independent and dependent study. A questionnaire was designed consisting of (45) phrases distributed in three axes. A stratified random sample of (300) male and female teachers was selected. The researcher used the descriptive analysis method and the multivariate analysis of variance. The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the job design factors and the factors of job satisfaction and organizational commitment of male and female teachers. The study recommended activating and practicing freedom of performance indicators by male and female teachers as a basic functional factor affecting organizational satisfaction and commitment.
