Abstract
The study determined the relationship between organizational dynamics and stewardship in promoting innovative work behavior and commitment at work. The descriptive-correlational research design was used, and statistical tools such as Pearson r correlational analysis were utilized to test the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The hypotheses testing revealed significant relationship between teachers’ innovative work behavior and principals’ organizational dynamics and stewardship. In addition, there is significant relationship between teachers’ work commitment and principals’ organizational dynamics and stewardship. Furthermore, organizational dynamics is highly practiced in schools in terms of cognitive, social, personal, and technological imperative. Similarly, stewardship in the organization regarding relational, contextual, and motivational support is highly manifested by the respondents. The work commitment regarding job involvement, work ethic, and commitment to profession/career is also highly practiced. Based on the findings, the school organizations may organize a training, seminar and team-building activities that promotes camaraderie among colleagues.
