Restructuring of Tertiary Institution and Its Effects on Organisational Commitment and Job Satisfaction: A Study of Tamale College of Education, Ghana

Restructuring of an institution is not just about reallocation of resource and equipment but rather consist of strategically redesigning the role and responsibilities of important units and procedures in an organisation. The fundamental purpose is to ensure improvement in efficiency and productivity. The human capital is the most important asset of any institution as such this research examined how restructuring of Tamale College of Education would affect the staff commitment and their job satisfaction. A quantitative approach was adopted with a descriptive research design. Krejcie and Morgan (1970) was used to derive a sample size of 73 from a population of 90 staff. SmartPLS3 was used to perform a partial least square regression analysis. The results revealed that restructuring has a significant effect on staff commitment and their job satisfaction. About 17% of staff commitment can be predicted by restructuring the institution and 7% of the staff’s job satisfaction can be predicted by restructuring. Therefore, for policy implications, the factors influencing staff commitment be taken into account first before their job satisfaction.
