Abstract

This study aimed to determine the work attitude and performance of one hundred seventy-six (176) elementary school teachers in the City Division of San Carlos. It utilized the descriptive method of research with the survey questionnaire checklist as the main instrument in gathering the needed data.  Frequency, percentage distribution, average weighted mean, ANOVA, Pearson and Chi-Square, T-test, and Analysis of Variance were employed to analyze and interpret the data. The study found out that the majority of the respondents are female, generally middle-aged, married with a bachelors’ degree. Most of them are generalists assigned in Grade 5 and are occupying Teacher III positions with no designation and awards received. This study also found out that the IPCRF rating of the teachers for the school year 2018-2019 is Very Satisfactory. Results have shown that the extent of manifested work attitude along subjects taught, superior/school head, co-worker, learners, school environment, parents, and recognition/award/promotion are generally Very Highly Manifested. While the extent of manifested work attitude along incentives/rewards is Highly Manifested. This study also revealed that there is no significant relationship between the extent of manifested work attitude and teachers’ performance. Lastly, there is a significant difference between the teachers’ performance across teachers’ profile

Keywords: Manifestation, Performance, Work attitude, IPCRF, Elementary school teachers
