Abstract

This study examined the organizational engagement of Catholic educators in relation to a rationalized remuneration system. Conducted across six Catholic Higher Education Institutions in Region II, it employed a mixed-method research design. A survey was administered to 164 college faculty members with at least three years of tenure, selected through stratified random sampling. Focus group discussions complemented the quantitative findings. Results showed that Catholic educators had highly favorable assessments of their remuneration in terms of fairness, effectiveness, and conformity. They were fully engaged in instruction, Christian faith formation, community engagement, and financial management, but demonstrated lower engagement in research activities. A significant relationship was found between educators' perceptions of remuneration and their engagement in instruction, financial management, extension, and Christian faith formation. These findings guided the development of a rationalized remuneration system to enhance organizational engagement. The study has practical implications for Catholic school leaders in improving faculty compensation strategies to enhance engagement and retention.

Abstract

Teachers are fundamental to a university’s success, and their satisfaction and motivation are essential for institutional growth. This study explores the factors influencing teachers’ retention at the University of Saint Louis, Tuguegarao, aiming to uncover and analyze key elements behind their long-term commitment. Using a qualitative method and descriptive research design, structured interviews with university teachers provided insights into their reasons for staying. The study identified one central theme: Various Factors Affecting Teachers’ Decision to Stay, which includes two subthemes: Extrinsic Factors (e.g., salary, benefits, work environment, and organizational policies) and Intrinsic Factors (e.g., job satisfaction, sense of purpose, and opportunities for professional growth). These findings highlight areas for the university to strengthen its strategies for managing employees and fostering a supportive environment. By addressing both tangible and personal motivators, the organization can ensure its educators feel valued and inspired to contribute to its long-term success

Abstract

Sustainability refers to both the planet’s health and humanity’s future well-being, encompassing actions humans take to prevent the depletion of natural resources. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) plays a vital role in course curricula by helping students develop critical thinking, decision-making, socio-emotional, and behavioral skills. This study examined the awareness and behavior of BS Management Accounting (BSMA) students regarding the three pillars of sustainability as well as the relationship between sustainability education and their awareness and behavior. Using the Knowledge-Attitudes-Practices (KAP) and Knowledge-Attitude-Behavior (KAB) frameworks, this quantitative descriptive research collected data from 349 out of 399 BSMA students (87.47% participation rate) enrolled during SY 2023–2024 at the University of Saint Louis, Northern Philippines. The results revealed that students were generally aware of sustainability and exhibited positive attitudes toward sustainable practices. Enrollment in the SASA 1013 course significantly increased sustainability awareness, but neither year level nor course enrollment had a significant impact on actual sustainability behavior. This study offers insights into the relationship between students’ sustainability awareness and their behavior across the three sustainability pillars. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on BSMA students and the specific role of the SASA 1013 course in fostering sustainability awareness. The study concludes with recommendations for curriculum development and policy initiatives to further promote students’ long-term sustainability awareness and behavior.
