Teaching Performance, Job Satisfaction and Resiliency Quotient of Faculty Members of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines: A Correlation Study

Abstract

The main objective of the study is to provide a model that will show the relationship among teaching performance, job satisfaction and resiliency of faculty members. Questions like what factors bring about the resiliency of the faculty, factors that make them satisfied with their work and factors that make them perform well are thoughts that need to be translated into grounded facts. The relationship among these three variables was scrutinised to define if relationship in teacher's performance, resilience quotient, and job satisfaction is significant or not. A descriptive-correlational research approach was employed using purposive sampling technique of 303 faculty members from a state university in the Philippines. The Job Satisfaction Survey Tool (JSS) (Spector, 1994), Resiliency Quotient (RQ) (Russell, 2006), and the Teaching Performance Evaluation tool (NBC 461, 1998) were used as questionnaires for collecting data. Results show (1) "very satisfactory" teaching performance rating; (2) faculty members are satisfied with their job in terms of: nature of work, supervision, co-workers, communication, and pay; (3) faculty members are "highly resilient" ; (4) significant relationships in the teaching performance, job satisfaction and resiliency quotient of faculty members exist from moderate to very high correlation. Conclusion can be drawn that faculty members with higher level of job satisfaction and high teaching performance evaluation would have higher level of resilience.
