Abstract

            This descriptive-correlation study primarily aimed to determine the work values of the faculty members of the College of Education at Isabela State University-Main Campus. Specifically, it sought to (1) determine the profile of the faculty based on their sex, age; and number of years in teaching; (2) determine the perceived work values of the faculty as to their professional growth, interpersonal relationship; and Social Environment; and (3) analyze the relationship between the profile of the faculty and their perceived work values. The research instrument was adapted from the study of Recobo (2017). Frequency counts, percentage and mean and Pearson r were used in treating the gathered data. The following conclusions were derived (1) the respondents were dominated by female, most of the respondents belong to the age bracket from 31-40 or 39.4%, Most of the respondents were in the teaching profession for 11-15 years. All the indicators under professional growth were rated “Very Important” by the faculty in college of education. Most of the statement-indicators under interpersonal relationship were perceived “very important” by the respondents. Majority of the statement-indicators under social environment perceived “Very important “by the respondents. The age, and number of years in teaching profession of the faculty made a significant impact on some of the faculty’s work values. However, their sex as related to work values has no significant relationship with most of the faculty work values. Based on the findings, the study recommends the faculty of the College of Education to continue working on the areas which need more output for continuous improvement of the college’ performance and other mechanism in the college. Likewise, the university may spearhead activities or programs that may further enhance the performance of the work values of their faculty and future researchers may replicate this study, the profile other than those used in this study like recognitions and number of seminars attended by the respondents may be used to better understand its relationship to the work values of the faculty.
