dc.description.abstractMany Economics teachers in secondary schools in Oyo State, seem to have failed in exhibiting the expected type of Organisational commitment required to achieve predetermined educational goals. This situation could be attributed to various factors, such as the leadership styles adopted by school administrators and the availability of staff development programmes among others. Despite the significance of Economics as a subject, there seem to be inadequate comprehensive understanding regarding the influence of leadership styles, and staff development programmes, on organisational commitment among Economics teachers in secondary schools in Oyo State. As a result, this gap seems to have led to numerous negative implications for the achievement of objectives in secondary school Economics education in the state and hinders the development of effective strategies to enhance teaching of Economics and improve teacher performance. This study therefore aimed at bridging this gap. Descriptive research design was used to guide the study. Population consisted of all 1449 Economics teachers in public secondary schools in Oyo State. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to ascertain the sample for the analysis and a self-developed questionnaire for teachers was utilised. The findings revealed that the most prevalent Organisational commitment was normative Commitment; the most adopted leadership style was the transformational style; level of availability of staff development programmes was moderate (x̄=2.69); there is a significant combined influence of the independent variables on the dependent variable (Adj. R2 = 0.939; F(2,371)= 2858.529; p < 0.05); transformational leadership Style demonstrates the strongest positive influence on organisational commitment (β = 0.959, t = 24.226, p < 0.05). Based on these findings, it was recommended among others that School administrators should adopt a holistic approach that integrates effective leadership practices with ample professional development opportunities.
