Teachers with high affective commitment can feel a strong emotional bond, loyalty, and dedication to the school. The teachers really want to be in school if they enjoy, feel comfortable, and satisfied with their works. So the teachers will be stronger if their experiences in a school are consistent with expectations and satisfy their basic needs, friendship, the work atmosphere or culture, comfortability in completing tasks, and also help to see how far the teachers identify and involve themselves with the school.

Prison privatization has generally been associated with developments in neoliberal punishment. However, relatively little is known about the specific impact of privatization on the daily life of prisoners, including areas that are particularly salient not just to debates about neoliberal penality, but the wider reconfiguration of public service provision and frontline work. Drawing on a study of values, practices, and quality of life in five private‐sector and two public‐sector prisons in England and Wales, this article seeks to compare and explain three key domains of prison culture and quality: relationships between frontline staff and prisoners, levels of staff professionalism (or jailcraft), and prisoners' experience of state authority. The study identifies some of the characteristic strengths and weaknesses of the public and private prison sectors, particularly in relation to staff professionalism and its impact on the prisoner experience. These findings have relevance beyond the sphere of prisons and punishment.
