This research investigated the relationship between organizational culture, policies, and practices and the commitment levels of primary and secondary public-school teachers in Davao del Norte and Davao City, Philippines. Utilizing a descriptive correlational design and three adopted questionnaires, the study analyzed data from 152 participants through statistical tools such as mean, Pearson r, standard deviation, and regression analysis. Results indicated a high level of organizational culture, emphasizing efficient change management, goal achievement, teamwork, customer orientation, and cultural strength. Similarly, teachers reported high scores for organizational policies and practices, encompassing safety, ergonomics, disability management, and a people-oriented climate. Teacher commitment, including affective commitment, continuance, and normative commitment, was observed at a high level. The study revealed a significant influence of both organizational culture and policies and practices on teacher commitment. Recommendations included acknowledging the role of organizational factors in shaping teacher commitment and implementing programs to enhance organizational culture, policies, and practices for fostering increased commitment levels.
