Abstract:
The research examines the effects of Confucian style of
management particularly on the principle of Five Constant
Virtues (benevolence, righteousness, ritual propriety,
wisdom, and faithfulness) on job performance of selected
East Asian electronics companies in Metro Manila. The study was
motivated by six (6) research objectives backed by the hypothesis that
there is no significant relationship between the implementation of the
five constant virtues in relation to job performance. The researcher
included four major electronics companies, gathering a total number
of 272 respondents. Data gathering utilized a survey questionnaire as
well as interviews which were analyzed through descriptive statistics
and Pearson R Correlation. After the needed statistical tools were
employed, it was found out that the respondents were aware of the
existence of Confucius and his teachings and that the teachings of
Confucius were also present in the companies participating in the
study. The study further revealed that that the teachings, virtues,
and principles taught by Confucius are positively affecting the job
performance of the employees.
