School management is fundamental to foster organizational commitment and a culture of continued improvement among educational actors. With the objective of analyzing social representations on institutional management and organizational commitment of directors in a Public Educational Institution of Chiclayo during the year 2024. A quantitative and descriptive-exploratory study was carry out. Through semi-structured interviews with four directors, dimensions such as organizational commitment, leadership and school management processes were analyze. The results reveal divergent concepts between innovative and systemic management versus traditional practices centered on administration. Furthermore, tensions will be found between the discourse on commitment and its weakness in daily practice, due to failures in leadership, teaching participation and work climate. To overcome these gaps, it is crucial to create spaces for trust, effective communication and joint reflection, which would allow teachers to be empower and consolidate a highly committed educational community.
