Abstract

Entrepreneurial skills are key to economic growth, with teachers helping to incorporate them into lessons, while entrepreneurs must leverage their socioemotional skills to connect with customers, develop marketing strategies, and create a clear purpose and values for their businesses. This study determined the moderating influence of socioemotional needs on the relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial competencies among the 300 stratified randomly sampled T.L.E public secondary school teachers in the three districts of the division of Davao Occidental, Region XI, Philippines using a non-experimental, quantitative, descriptive-correlational research design. The research instruments used were in the form of a standardized questionnaire, modified and contextualized to fit based on the research objectives. In analyzing the data, weighted mean, Pearson r, and Sobel’s test were utilized. Findings revealed that there are high Level of Personality Traits, Entrepreneurial Competencies, and Socio Emotional Need. There exists a significant relationship between Personality Traits and Entrepreneurship between personality traits and socio emotional needs and between socio emotional needs and entrepreneurship competencies of TLE Teachers existed. Utilizing Zobel’s test, the results of the study revealed that there is a partial moderation among variables. This indicates that socioemotional needs do influence the relationship but do not fully explain the relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial competencies. Teachers with strong personality traits may have entrepreneurial skills; nevertheless, their performance might be influenced positively or negatively by their socioemotional needs.
