Abstract:
The study examined the influence of career development and employee
commitment at the Ghana National Association of Teachers’ offices.
Specifically, three research objectives were investigated, to: assess the
perception level of employees on selected dimensions of career development;
assess the level of employees’ commitment; analyse the effect of selected
dimensions of career development on employees’ commitment. The study
adopted the quantitative approach and descriptive correlational design. A
structured questionnaire was used to gather data from all the 110 employees of
the organisation. The data was then processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics
(version 26) software. Both descriptive (means and standard deviations) and
inferential statistics (multiple regression) were used to address objectives of the
study. The study found mentoring, coaching and job enrichment as the
dimensions of career development applicable in the organisation. The study also
found high levels of employee commitment in the organisation. The study
finally found that career development through mentoring, coaching and job
enrichment had significant positive influence on employees’ commitment. The
study therefore recommends that management of the organisation should
emphasise on continuously developing and strengthening the career
development programs of the institution across the country to meet the demands
of the employees.
