An educational organization includes a variety of people from different backgrounds, which may include culture, language, tradition, custom, belief and so on. They all work at different levels to meet the distinct goals and objectives of an organization. By extension, schools fit the same profile, in that they are educational organizations. To meet a desired outcome, it is essential for the teachers in a school to work together. This coordination as well as efficiency in the work can exist when there is a sense of belongingness among teachers. This study sought to examine the influence the selected factors had on the sense of belongingness. Using a quantitative approach a sample (n=186) of teachers were selected to test this influence. A cross sectional survey methodology was employed for data collection. Reliable instruments were carefully selected and, before being used, were pilot tested to ensure its reliability in the context. The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation and multiple regression. The result of the study revealed that perceived organizational support and organizational climate had a positive influence on teachers' sense of belonging. Additionally, it was identified that organizational climate was a better predictor of teachers' sense of belonging.

From its onset, education has had an integral role in transforming society to become what it is. In fact, developments in society, especially in terms of human capital, have resulted from the nature of education its members have received. In the past two decades, owing to several factors, society has seen a stark transformation in economics and commerce. A major part of this development has offset the sync between education and practice, such that the earlier has fallen behind the latter. The question of institutions producing employable graduates is on the rise as educational institutions fall back in their ability to do so. Harnessing developments and latest advances in technology to carve out efficient human capital could give education a surviving chance.
