INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
In every institution, the matter of individual work values is an issue that has fueled a great deal of research in field of education and teaching (Laboste, 2017). Teachers are the most important group of professionals for the nation’s future. Therefore, it is astonishing to know that even today many of the teachers are dissatisfied and tend to get low performances with their jobs (Lacerna, 2018). Numerous studies on individual work values of teachers have been conducted. It is therefore indicated that when teachers have high regards in work values, they can perform their responsibilities with more concentration and devotion (Ramos, 2018). Some teachers tend to be dissatisfied with their own work values that lead to hesitant implementation of their best capabilities.
Understanding what enables teachers to develop and sustain their resilience and what lessons there are for the school organization can improve the support for teachers in day—to—day work. This understanding can assist those in leadership to challenge the culture in school, bringing about effective change to the teaching and learning experience in the school. Also, it will support leaders in sustaining and retaining effective teachers while they build a force for school improvement. This study discussed how teachers manage the interactions between work and life over the course of their careers and seek to identify what strategies and experiences enable or inhibit their resilience including their 'hope, optimism and sense of effectiveness in the profession' (Day & Gu, 2017). On the other hand, while there has been increasing interest in the role of the school environment in promoting and supporting the development of healthy dietary behaviors, a group of researchers has previously investigated teacher role modeling, as well as food practices, beliefs, and behaviors of schoolteachers (Layn, 2017). Kubik (2019) surveyed middle schoolteachers and found the use of classroom food practices, such as using food as a reward in the classroom or allowing students to eat food in the classroom, to be a common occurrence. Moreover, the majority of middle schoolteachers, especially those with low perceived health and less support for the school environment, did not model positive eating behavior at school which led to low provision of learning management to learners.
In Singapore, teacher serve the role model of behavior and positive attitude that leads every individual towards successful direction and events of their work life. Maintaining and demonstrating positive work values among teachers would also provide clear image of a living example on the real essence of professionalism and integrity (Raha, 2017). The manner of teachers ’ delivery of goals and the way they manage work situations are some of the factors that may contribute to the satisfaction of learning and development of the individuals. In Makati, Philippines, the study of Aktwil (2018) indicated that administration may improve the performance of its people through motivating them to perform their duties and responsibilities effectively and efficiently (Akeel, 2018). Faculty performance evaluation based on the appraisal of the teachers is one of the measures of the institution to determine the work performance of the faculty in a certain period. One of the principles of feedback is having an environment of professional learning and support is promoted by the institution’s leadership (Major, 2014). Furthermore, in the Province of Columbio in Mindanao, Capri (2015) indicated that work values might be considered a factor in determining the work performance of teachers. Work values as well as evaluation revealed to significantly predict career preferences in various organizations and the similarity of work values with the work place has been shown to exist (Bakar, 2017). Dramatic changes are also taking place in the work environment as a result of globalization, advancement of technology and borderless world (Tomlinson, 2014).
This type of study has not been achieved by previous researchers. Also, there were no published researches yet with exactly similar topic found in the institution. Another aspect that the researchers dealt in conducting this study is the possibility of instituting a management center or program that will sustain the importance of constructivist learning environment management skills and resilience of teachers as determinants of work values. Furthermore, since some of teachers are not fully engaged into high quality individual work values, this proposal must be evaluated.
Thus, the researcher seeks to determine the Teacher’s work values in public schools: the influence of web-based professional development and resilience. Consequently, this study will give respondents a chance to be equipped with work skills along with the possible intervention and strategies on such.
Statement of the Problem
The study aims to determine the level of constructivist learning environment management skills and resilience of teachers as predicted by work values. Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:
-
What is the level of web-based professional development to self-efficacy of teachers in terms of:
- 1.1
General self-efficacy;
- 1.2
Interaction self-efficacy; and
- 1.3
Applying self-efficacy?
-
What is the level of the resilience of the teachers in terms of:
- 2.1
Motivational and resilience;
- 2.2
Social resilience;
- 2.3
Emotional resilience;
-
What is the level of work values of teachers in terms of:
- 3.1
Physical facilities;

Professional growth;
- 3.3
Interpersonal relationship;
- 3.4
Social environment;
- 3.5
Personal gratification;
- 3.6
New challenges; and
- 3.7
Job security?
-
Is there a significant relationship between:
- 4.1
web-based professional development to self-efficacy and work values of teachers?
- 4.2
resilience and work values of teachers?
Do web-based professional development to self-efficacy and resilience significantly influence the work values of teachers?
Theoretical Framework
This study was anchored on Social exchance theory (Homans, 1958). According to Homans, social exchange theory emphasized on the social interactions between people, involving cost and rewards. Digging deeply into the definitions of the components of the social exchange theory, including: Cost and Reward (Redmond, 2015). As supported by Redmond (2015), in the context of teachers and web-based professional development to self-efficay, work values can be viewed as a determinant of their willingness to invest time and effort in online learning platforms. Teachers who highly value professional growth, collaboration, and continuous learning are more likely to engage in web-based professional development to self-efficacy opportunities.
Moreover, Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory is a stress theory that describes the motivation that drives humans to both maintain their current resources and to pursue new resources (Hobfoll in 1989). As emphasized by Hinojosa (2012) that Teachers who hold strong work values, such as a passion for education, a sense of purpose, and a commitment to student success, may be more resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks. This resilience, in turn, can positively impact their citation rates.
On the other hand, the study's conceptual paradigm is shown in
Figure 1. The first independent variable of this study is web-based professional development, it involves perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, affection, anxiety and behaviour. The second independent variable is teacher resilience with indicators of motivational and resilience, social resilience and emotional resilience. the dependent variable of the study is work values with physical facilities, professional growth, interpersonal relationship, social environment, personal gratification and new challenges.
Definition of Terms
For more comprehensive understanding, the following terms were defined conceptually and operationally:
Web-Based Professional Development to Self-efficacy. for teachers can be conceptually defined as the utilization of online platforms, resources, and activities that aim to enhance the knowledge, skills, and competencies of educators in various aspects of teaching and professional growth (Johnson, 2019). It encompasses the use of web-based technologies and digital tools to deliver engaging and interactive learning experiences, enabling teachers to access educational content, collaborate with peers, engage in reflective practices, and acquire new instructional strategies and pedagogical approaches.
Resilience of teachers can be conceptually defined as the ability of teachers to effectively cope with and bounce back from adversities, challenges, and stressful situations encountered in their professional lives (Smith et al., 2020). It encompasses psychological and emotional factors such as maintaining a positive mindset, adaptability, and the ability to regulate emotions and stress responses. Operationally, resilience of teachers can be measured through self-report surveys that assess factors such as perceived self-efficacy in handling difficult situations, emotional well-being and stress management skills, adaptability to change, and the ability to maintain a sense of purpose and motivation in their teaching practice. Additionally, it may also involve objective measures such as indicators of job satisfaction, retention rates, and overall performance evaluations as indicators of resilience in the face of challenges.
Work Values of teachers refer to the underlying beliefs, principles, and priorities that guide their attitudes, behaviors, and decision-making related to their profession and work responsibilities (Johnson, 2018). In this context, work values encompass the individual teacher's subjective evaluation of the importance and significance they attach to aspects such as professional development, student engagement and success, collaboration with colleagues, autonomy in instructional practices, work-life balance, and the overall impact of their work on students and society.
Significance of the Study
The success of this study aimed to be beneficial for the following groups of people. In particular, this was subjected to be useful to the following.
Teachers. The findings of this research would contribute to the body of knowledge in teaching practices, particularly in the context of public schools. By examining the influence of work values, web-based professional development, and resilience on teaching effectiveness, the study can provide teachers with valuable information on best practices and strategies for enhancing student learning outcomes. The research can shed light on the importance of aligning teachers' work values with their professional development efforts to foster a positive impact on students' attitudes and engagement, specifically in subjects like mathematics. This knowledge can help teachers design and deliver instruction that effectively meets the unique needs and learning styles of students, leading to improved attitudes and performance in mathematics.
School Administrators. This research serves as a valuable guide for school administrators in administering the teaching and learning processes within their schools. It highlights the importance of aligning professional development initiatives with teachers' work values and recognizing the role of resilience in teachers' overall well-being. By implementing evidence-based practices derived from this study, administrators can create an environment that supports teachers' growth, fosters their work values, and ultimately contributes to the success of both teachers and students in public schools.
DepEd Officials. The study's findings can serve as a valuable resource for creating guidelines and policies that support teachers in their professional growth and well-being. By identifying the specific aspects of web-based professional development and resilience that influence teachers' work values, educational authorities can develop targeted programs that address the needs and challenges faced by teachers in public schools. These programs can enhance teacher motivation, job satisfaction, and overall effectiveness, ultimately benefiting both teachers and their students.
Future Researchers. Future researchers can build upon the findings of this study to explore additional factors that may influence teachers' work values, such as the role of organizational support, leadership styles, and the specific features of web-based professional development programs. Further investigation can delve into the long-term effects of web-based professional development on teachers' resilience and their ability to cope with challenges and adapt to changing educational environments. Additionally, future studies may examine the impact of teachers' work values on student outcomes, such as academic achievement, student engagement, and overall learning experiences.
METHOD
This section covered the study's numerous methodologies, which include the research design, respondents, research instrument, data gathering procedures, statistical treatment of data, and ethical considerations.
Research Design
A quantitative non-experimental applying descriptive and correlational approach design was used in this study. A quantitative research method includes the collection and analysis of numerical data. It is useful for identifying patterns and averages, making forecasts, examining causal linkages, and generalizing conclusions to larger groups (Bhandari, 2020). Additionally, quantitative research is a technique for gaining knowledge about a specific group of individuals, referred to as a sample population. It uses scientific inquiry to evaluate issues about a sample population via the use of observed or measured data (Creswell, 2017). Moreover, nonexperimental designs are research methods that are used to explore social phenomena without manipulating the environment under which the individuals live. Additionally, there is no random assignment of respondents to various groups (Frey, 2018).
The descriptive approach aims to investigate language learning and instruction in its natural environments, without any intervention or modification of factors. The descriptive approach's objective is to characterize a phenomenon and its features. Additionally, it is more interested in what occurred than in how or why something existed (Nassaji, 2015). In this study, this was used by the researcher to explore, determine, and describe teachers’ work values, web-based professional development and resilience as variables of the study.
Furthermore, the correlational approach sought to establish correlations between two or more variables. It describes seeing whether a rise or decrease in one variable is accompanied by an increase or decrease in another (Tan, 2014). Similarly, Frey (2018) defined the correlational approach as concerned with the examination of the links between two or more domains.
The above-mentioned design was used by the researcher to address the main interests and objectives of the study. Specifically, for the descriptive approach, this was used by the researcher to explore, determine, and describe students’ positive learning environment, academic emotions, and learning attitudes in mathematics as variables of the study. Moreover, a correlational approach was used to test and determine the existing relationships of teachers’ work values, web-based professional development to self-efficacy and resilience as variables of the study.
Research Respondents
The respondents were all public-school teachers who are currently worked at department of education in the division of Davao del Norte and Davao de Oro. The respondents’ total population size of this study, collectively comprised 1,000 teachers coming from public schools in the Division of Davao del Norte and Davao de Oro. Specifically, Division A consisted of 500 teachers, Division B consisted of 500 teachers, Moreover, this study utilized a stratified sampling technique to determine the sample size and determine the final total number of respondents. As a result, Division A had an ideal sample size of 140 teachers (280× 0.50), Division B had 140 teachers (280× 0.50). Furthermore, by using qualtrics online sample size calculator, and specifically allowing a 95% confidence level (Z-Score=1.96), and a 5% margin of error, given the identified collective population size of 1,000 teachers, the ideal sample size of this quantitative study consisted of 180 teachers in total.

Significance of the relationship between the web-based professional development to self-efficacy, resilience, and work values.
Table 17 shows the relationship between the web-based professional development to self-efficacy, resilience, and work values.
The correlation between Web-Based Professional Development to self-efficacy and Work Value showed that web-based professional development has a significant relationship with teachers' work value (p<0.05) with an r-value of 0.890, and the null hypothesis is rejected. In particular, the p-value of the two variables is less than the 0.05 level of significance, which made them significant.
Furthermore, the rejection of the null hypothesis indicates that there is a meaningful connection between web-based professional development and teachers' work value. It suggests that professional development opportunities offered through online platforms can positively influence teachers' attitudes towards their profession and their perceived worth in the education system.
The correlation between teachers’ resilience and work value showed that teacher’s resilience has a significant relationship with teachers' work value (p<0.05) with an r-value of 0.928, and the null hypothesis is rejected. In particular, the p-value of the two variables is less than the 0.05 level of significance, which made them significant.
This finding indicates that resilient teachers are more likely to perceive their work as meaningful, important, and worthwhile. They may show a greater commitment to their profession, display higher motivation, and exhibit a stronger sense of dedication towards their students and the educational process.
Regression Analysis on the Teacher’s Work Values in Public Schools: The Influence of Web-based Professional Development to Self Efficacy and Resilience
Regression analysis was performed to determine the significant influence of Web-based Professional Development to Self Efficacy and Resilience on the work values of teachers.
The results in
Table 18 revealed that web-based professional development it appears to be statistically significant predictor of teacher work values (𝑝 <0.05). The beta value (β=0.434) indicates that for every unit increase in Web-based Professional Development to Self Efficacy, Teachers’ work value will also increase by 0.434 units. Furthermore, based on the significance level, the results have rejected the study’s null hypothesis.
Furthermore, this is supported by Redmond (2015), in the context of teachers and web-based professional development to self-efficay, work values can be viewed as a determinant of their willingness to invest time and effort in online learning platforms. Teachers who highly value professional growth, collaboration, and continuous learning are more likely to engage in web-based professional development to self-efficacy opportunities.
On the other hand, The results revealed that teachers resilience it appears to be statistically significant predictor of teacher work values (𝑝 <0.05). The beta value (β=0.596) indicates that for every unit increase in teachers’ resilience, Teachers’ work value will also increase by 0.596 units. Furthermore, based on the significance level, the results have rejected the study’s null hypothesis.
Furthermore, this is supported by the work of by Hinojosa (2012) that Teachers who hold strong work values, such as a passion for education, a sense of purpose, and a commitment to student success, may be more resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks. This resilience, in turn, can positively impact their citation rates.
