Abstract
This study examined the impact of extrinsic motivational factors on organizational commitment among teachers at Gibi Gebreal and Holy Trinity Cathedral private schools in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining quantitative surveys (148 teachers, 90.2% response rate) and qualitative interviews (12 participants). Teachers were selected through a census sampling technique, encompassing all 164 teaching staff across both schools. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (SPSS v26), including correlation and regression analysis, while qualitative responses were thematically coded (NVivo 12). Findings revealed that salary satisfaction had the strongest correlation with commitment, followed by working conditions and supervision quality, while training showed moderate influence. Qualitative themes highlighted delays in salary payments, inconsistent supervision, and inadequate training opportunities. The study concluded that policy reforms such as competitive compensation, structured mentorship, and resource investment could enhance commitment.
