Abstract
The main objective of this study was to find out factors affecting the preschool teachers’ career commitment in private and government preschools. More specifically, it aimed to find out the differences and similarities of teachers’ commitment in private and government preschools; as well as those trained and untrained teachers in terms of their commitment to their teaching career; and further identified factors that affect teachers’ commitment in private and government preschools aimed at suggesting ways and means of improving preschool teachers’ career commitment. To conduct this study, descriptive survey and comparative research method was employed. Descriptive survey was used due to the large number of preschools included for the study. Comparative method was used to understand the difference and similarities between private and government preschools teachers in terms of their commitment to their job. For this purpose, samples were taken from 4 sub cities. From the 16 preschools included in the study, 8 of them are private and the remaining 8 are government. To select the preschools, simple random sampling was used as a sampling technique. Questionnaire survey, and interview were the main instruments used to collect the data. Data analysis was made by using statistical tools such as percentage, chi-square and rank order correlation coefficient to identify the GPT and PPT whether there are differences and similarities in their career commitment. The study observed that there are significant differences among the PPT and GPT in their career commitment and the factors that affect teachers’ career commitment in private and government preschools of Addis Ababa are identical. From these factors the most influential ones are mainly related to high work load and salary scale of both government and private schools, which make them not to be committed on their career/low morale. Thus salary scale for preschool teachers, especially for government preschools teachers has to be revised and upgraded as this will not only build their moral/reduce their frustration/but also reduce job turnovers. Balancing the work load of both private and government preschool teachers is also mandatory as it helps them to teach productively and also enhance their motivation.
