Workplace Environment Practices and Career Resilience of Teachers in Public Elementary Schools

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the significant relationship between workplace environment practices and career resilience of teachers in public elementary schools in North and South District, San Isidro, Division of Davao Oriental. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, a total of 132 teachers were surveyed using contextualized standardized questionnaires, utilizing universal sampling to ensure full representation of the population. The questionnaire was validated by experts in the field, and the reliability analysis confirmed that the instrument had good internal consistency. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation (SD), Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses. The findings revealed that teachers demonstrate a high level of workplace environment practices, and career resilience was observed among teachers. Correlation analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between workplace environment practices and career resilience. Further analysis revealed that the domains of workplace environment practices significantly influenced teachers’ career resilience, suggesting that a well-structured and supportive work environment contributes to greater resilience among educators. Based on these findings, it is recommended that school leaders and administrators may continue to strengthen workplace practices that promote collaboration, efficient planning, and reflective evaluation. Supporting a positive and responsive work environment can enhance teachers’ resilience and commitment, allowing them to thrive amidst the evolving challenges of the teaching profession.
