Abstract

Peer attitudes can exert a powerful influence on individuals, both directly and indirectly, shaping their behaviors, beliefs, and even their personal development. This study determined the impact of peer attitudes on the productivity of non-teaching staff in a division office of a government agency in the Philippines. Employing a descriptive-quantitative design, the study assessed the role of peer attitudes in shaping the non-teaching staff’s employee productivity. Data were collected from 65 government agency employees using a researcher-structured questionnaire prepared through Google form and distributed via Facebook Messenger and personal emails. Statistical tests included frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, and the Spearman Rank Correlation technique to quantify the strength and direction of the relationship between PAT and employee productivity. The findings highlighted the vital role of positive peer interactions in boosting employee productivity and cultivating a collaborative work environment. Although negative behaviors are infrequent, addressing disruptive attitudes to ensure a workplace where positive interactions flourish and a strong organizational identity thrive is essential. While challenges related to peer attitude rarely occur in the agency, the researchers suggest a roadmap for molding staff employee productivity. This study can serve as baseline information for developing studies on the effects of peer attitudes toward employee productivity and fostering a healthier workplace culture among government educational institutions.

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

As education evolves alongside technological advancements, it is crucial to understand how instructors perceive and adopt modern teaching methodologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), project-based learning, cooperative learning, gamification, and learning management systems (LMS). The primary aim of this study is to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Myanmar instructors in the context of Education 5.0 principles. The study employs a survey method, involving 102 instructors employed in private higher education institutions. Findings indicate a strong correlation between knowledge, attitude, and behavior, suggesting familiarity with the principles of Education 5.0. Furthermore, the study highlights a gap in scale development concerning these education 5.0 principles, positioning this research as a step toward filling this void. The implications of these findings are significant for private higher education institutions in Myanmar, offering valuable insights into curriculum development, instructor training, and the integration of technology in education.

Abstract

As the maritime industry evolves in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), understanding the competencies and technological skills needed for Filipino maritime professionals is vital for addressing skills gaps and aligning emerging industry needs to maintain competitiveness in the global workforce. The study identified the core competencies and technological skills of maritime professionals in the 4IR, informing a strategic plan. A descriptive comparative-correlational research design was employed, covering 121 maritime professionals from MHEIs, shipping companies, and training centers. Snowball sampling was utilized to efficiently access deck and engine officers. The statistical tools used in treating the data were: frequency and percentage distribution for demographic profiles, weighted arithmetic means for core competencies and technological skills assessments, and Pearson correlation coefficients to explore relationships between competencies and technological skills. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to assess the significant difference in respondents' core competencies and technological skills by profile. Findings of the study revealed that respondents demonstrated average to above-average proficiency in various technical and digital skills. The correlation analysis reveals strong positive relationships between various competencies and technological skills. Competencies in technical and cybersecurity were average; strengths were noted in innovation, adaptability, digital literacy, and regulatory compliance. Significant differences were found in specific technological skills, such as automation and robotics, indicating a need for targeted training in advanced technologies. The findings underscore the importance of aligning specialized training with emerging industry demands. Likewise, fostering a culture of innovation and integrating continuous education opportunities is essential to address gaps in advanced technological skills.

Abstract

Filial piety, a fundamental Confucian value, is traditionally emphasized in Chinese education. However, globalization and modernization have influenced how filial piety is taught and perceived. This study explores the similarities and differences in filial piety attitudes among Chinese and Malaysian Chinese university students. The sample consists of 598 students, including 325 from China and 273 from Malaysia, selected through stratified random sampling from major universities. Independent sample t-tests were conducted using SPSS to analyze the responses. The statistical analysis indicates that while there are shared perspectives, differences also exist in filial piety attitudes between the two groups. Both Chinese and Malaysian Chinese college students highly value the culture of filial piety. In the dimension of authority, the mean scores of both groups are relatively low and similar, suggesting that under the influence of modern society, traditional notions of authority have weakened among university students in both countries. Chinese university students demonstrate more proactive emotional respect, whereas Malaysian Chinese students place greater emphasis on traditional commemorative rituals. Additionally, interviews with 11 education experts (six from China and five from Malaysia) yielded recommendations and strategies to strengthen filial piety education.

Abstract

Academic resilience refers to a student’s ability to overcome academic stress, adapt to challenges, and persist in achieving goals despite setbacks. One of the internal factors contributing to resilience is spirituality, including the concept of tawakal, the Islamic belief of surrendering to Allah after making an effort. This study aims to examine the relationship between tawakal and academic resilience among Muslim high school students in Indonesia. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 268 students across various regions using the Academic Resilience Scale and the Tawakal to Allah Scale. Results from the Spearman Rho test indicated a significant positive correlation between tawakal and academic resilience (r = 0.331, p < 0.01), with tawakal accounting for 11.5% of the variance in academic resilience. These findings highlight the role of Islamic spiritual values in supporting students’ psychological strength in academic settings. The study contributes to the development of context-specific models of resilience and provides practical implications for educators to integrate spiritual development into school-based character education programs.
