Abstract
This study examined the relationship between teachers’ personal and collective resources and their occupational commitment and engagement in a centralised system. Guided by the Job Demands-Resources theory, we distributed an online survey through our networks. Structural equation modelling using responses from 779 Filipino teachers revealed that collective efficacy was positively linked to personal resources, while adaptability was associated with self-efficacy and resilience. These personal resources, in turn, predicted higher levels of teacher commitment and engagement. The findings highlight the importance of developing both personal and collective capacities to promote teacher commitment and engagement in the profession.
