Abstract

This study aims to produce ways and strategies to increase professional
commitment to become input and recommendations for related parties. The research
was carried out among permanent teachers of private vocational schools in Bogor
City, using a correlational approach with SITOREM (Scientific Identification
Theory to conduct Operation Research in Education Management) analysis. The
population size is 518, with a sample of 226. The results show that there is a
positive and significant relationship between: 1) transformational leadership (X1)
and professional commitment (ry1= 0.437, <0.01), ρ<0.01); 2) empowerment (X2)
with professional commitment (ry2= 0.289, ρ <0.01); 3) organizational citizenship
behavior (X3) with professional commitment (ry3 = 0.362, ρ <0.01). Based on the
results of the SITOREM analysis, the order of priority for indicators that need to be
improved are: 1) inspirational motivation, 2) intellectual stimulation, 3)
conscientiousness, 4) boosterism, 5) altruism, 6) confidence, 7) credibility, 8)
accountability, 9) desire, 10) belief that there is no other profession, 11)
identification of the profession, 12) participation in professional activities, 13) selfdevelopment
in the profession, and 14) feeling of loss when leaving the
profession.Professional commitment can increase by strengthening transformational
leadership, empowerment, and organizational citizenship behavior. A strategic way
to implement the action plan is by improving priority indicators that are still weak
in an educational webinar to provide insight and skills regarding enhancing the
application of transformational and organizational skills leadership indicators—
citizenship behavior in the school environment.
