WORK ENGAGEMENT AND MOTIVATION AS PREDICTORS OF WORK PERFORMANCE AMONG PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION

The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of work engagement and motivation on the work performance of public elementary school teachers. Educators from the Compostela West District of Davao de Oro were involved in the implementation of a descriptive-correlational research design. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression after being collected using standardized questionnaires. The findings suggested that teachers' levels of work engagement were remarkably high, with high levels of vigor, dedication, and assimilation. Additionally, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation levels were elevated. However, work engagement and motivation did not significantly predict job performance. The research concluded that instructors' work performance is not significantly impacted by their elevated levels of motivation and engagement. This implies that other variables may be more significant in determining teacher performance, emphasizing the need for further research in this area. This study challenges the notion that work engagement and motivation are directly correlated with performance, thereby contributing to the existing body of literature. Additionally, it offers innovative perspectives for policy-making and educational leadership.
