The Relationship

This study explored the extent of organizational commitment and how this may support or hinder a range of job satisfaction of teachers examined in the Ethiopian primary schools.The research employed correlation design. To this end, one hundred and eighteen 118 (58.1%) teachers were selected from six primary schools using simple random sampling technique and participated in the study. The researchers collected the relevant data from teachers using Spector’s (1997) adopted version of job satisfaction survey (JSS) and Meyer and Allen’s (1990) organizational commitment questionnaire (OCQ). The researchers analyzed the data using mean, standard deviation, correlation analysis and t-test. The result showed that there was evidence of positive correlation between teachers’ job satisfaction and their organizational commitment in the sampled schools. Regardless of this, the findings of the study revealed that gender was the only demographic variable that had significant positive relationship with job satisfaction. The other demographic variables such as age, gender, marital status and level of education did not show significant relationship with teachers’ job satisfaction in the sampled schools. Consequent up on this finding it was concluded that schools can enhance the level of teachers’ organizational commitment by creating a more satisfying working environment. As to the demographic variable, since some of the finding contradicts with the existing literature, we need to undertake more studies to have better understanding of the nature of the relationship between teachers demographic variables, job satisfaction and organizational commitment in developing countries context.

The Impact

The study aimed at scrutinizing the impact of Airbnb on the Philippine hotel accommodation sector with regards to occupancy rates and the number of tourist arrivals. The more extensive point was to make a functional contribution to the current discussions and issues around the sharing accommodation, in particular Airbnb platform, from an ethnically diverse country standpoint. This study used a quantitative explanatory approach, and a secondary data sampling technique was adopted. Statistics from the Philippines were obtained from the DOT library while Airbnb data was purchased from AirDNA last September-November 2019. Secondary data collected were analyzed through SPSS. The study measured the relationship between Airbnb occupancy rates and tourist arrival. Moreover, to test whether Airbnb is directly competing with the lower category of hotel in terms of occupancy rates, the correlational examination was taken into account. Pearson R coefficient was utilized followed by a regression analysis to come up with a model. The findings inferred that it is Airbnb that has most influenced the activity of the tourism industry sector most especially under the accommodation sector and apparently set up to be a threat to the budget traditional providers. The result of the examination required for a business reaction for the traditional providers on the best way to team up with Airbnb to give better accommodation preferences for the increasing number of travelers in the country.
