Abstract

The study investigated organizational pride as correlate of teachers' job effectiveness in public secondary schools in Imo State. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The population of the study was 5,364 teachers while the sample size consisted of 3,284 teachers selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through a 15-item structured questionnaire that comprised two clusters. Cluster A dealt with the existence of organizational pride while cluster B considered the influence of organizational pride on teachers' job effectiveness. The instrument was validated by three experts, two from the Department of Educational Management and Policy and one from the Department of Educational Foundation, all from the Faculty of Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The reliability of the instrument was obtained through Cronbach Alpha with a weighted average of 0.86 which was considered high enough for be study. Mean and standard Deviation were used to answer the research questions while T-Test statistics was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 significant level. The study found out among others that organizational pride does not exist among teachers in public secondary schools in Imo State. The recommendation among others is that Imo State Government through the Ministry of Education should improve the welfare of teachers and their general conditions of service as this will make teachers happy and proud of their work.
