Exploring Organizational Justice, Organizational Behavior, and Emotional Intelligence among Public Secondary School Teachers in Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines

Abstract

This study examined the degree of organizational justice and organizational behavior among public secondary school teachers in the Division of Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. Data was collected from 305 teachers through a validated questionnaire on organizational justice and behavior, as well as an emotional intelligence questionnaire adapted from Rao (2012). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data, including means and standard deviations, while non-parametric tests were used to assess differences in responses based on certain profile variables. Spearman rho test was used to determine the relationships between emotional intelligence, organizational justice, and organizational behavior. The study found that public secondary school teachers in the Division were generally 41 years old and above, female, under the Makabayan department from big schools, with a baccalaureate degree, ranked as Teacher I-Teacher II, and had high emotional intelligence with a monthly salary between Php 18,500 - Php 19,999. Overall, public secondary school teachers believed in organizational justice in the Division, with school heads being fair in terms of distributive, procedural, and interactional justice. They also demonstrated positive organizational behavior. The study found that certain profile variables influenced responses to items under the dimensions of organizational justice and behavior, while others did not. Ultimately, the study concluded that emotional intelligence, organizational justice, and organizational behavior were highly interconnected.
