Abstract:
An educational institution should be aware of the level of career adaptability and
workplace dignity of their employees for the welfare of the faculty and the productivity of the
school. This study determined the career adaptability and workplace dignity levels of 101 teaching
personnel at a private school in Bacolod City. The descriptive-correlational design was utilized
using an adapted and modified validated and reliable survey questionnaire. Collectively, the
faculty have very high career adaptability and workplace dignity. Results also showed no
significant difference in the level of career adaptability and workplace dignity when faculty were
grouped according to department, age, and sex. However, results showed a significant difference
for both variables when grouped according to the length of service. Finally, this study found a
positive correlation between career adaptability and workplace dignity. It can be concluded that
faculties can cope with and overcome changes and challenges. The ability to make self-adjustments
in the career scene for self-control to cope with tasks, transitions, or trauma, as well as to
anticipate all possibilities in the future, may be considered by the school administrators when
conducting guidance and counseling. On the other hand, to uphold workplace dignity, the
administrators may look into the possibility of using proactive conflict resolution techniques and
early interventions for shorter-tenured and tenured workers, such as mediation, that can prevent
and resolve issues with workplace decorum.
