Abstract
The pandemic significantly affects all sectors, especially the education sector. This includes changing
the teaching pedagogy, learning setup, and educational goals. Thus, teachers directly impact the
learning process, the quality of students' work, and the patterns of competitive output. The academic
workforce's quality affects the quality of learners. To perform successfully, teachers with competence
certifications should teach subjects that are appropriate for their qualifications. Furthermore, this
study investigates the influence of teacher's commitment on their job performance amidst the
COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the statistical analysis, the respondents’ affective commitment (B=
2.02), continuance commitment (B= 1.06), and normative commitment (B= .51) are significant with
an associated probability greater than 0.05 alpha level of significance. Implications of the study were
discussed, and recommendations for future research were suggested.
