Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the best-fit model on school culture of teachers as estimated by adversity quotient of teachers, leadership capability and work values of teachers among public elementary schools in Region XI, Philippines. The study used quantitative, non-experimental correlational research using Structural Equation Model (SEM). The 400 teachers among public elementary schools were determined using the stratified sampling procedure. Mean, Pearson r, and SEM as statistical tools. Moreover, adapted survey questionnaires were used to contextualize to the local setting. The result showed that the level of adversity quotient of teachers was high while the level of leadership capability, work values of teachers and school culture were very high. Further, when each exogenous variable is correlated to school culture, results showed that the adversity quotient of teachers, leadership capability and work values of teachers were correlated with school culture. Model 3 came out as the best-fit model that predicted the school culture of teachers. Further, results showed that the best fit model was model 3 showing the direct causal relationships of adversity quotient, leadership capability and work values on school culture of teachers. Furthermore, structure modifications revealed that school culture of teachers was defined by its retained indicators: professional collaboration, affiliative collegiality, and self-determination/efficacy. On the other hand, adversity quotient was described by its domains: control and endurance. Leadership capability was determined by its retained indicators: cognitive capability and role specific and generic competence. Finally, work values of teachers was determined by its retained indicators: competence and growth, comfort and security and status and independence. Findings of the study may be a significant baseline for faculty development programs of educational institutions.
