Predictors of Job Performance of Teachers
Keywords:
Job Performance, Predictors, TeachersAbstract
The study attempted to determine the predictors of the job performance of teachers of complete elementary schools in the District of Pinabacdao-San Sebastian, Division of Samar. Since this study delved on the predictors of job performance of teachers as revealed by the Performance Appraisal System of Teachers (PAST), the descriptive-correlation method was used. This was directed towards ascertaining facts that prevail among the respondents or cases/samples. The hypothesis for testing the significance of the relationship between job performance rating of the teacher-respondents and the in-service training they attended was rejected. This was anchored on the fact that the computed Pearson r of 0.23387 contributed to a Fisher’s t-value of 2.327 which turned out greater than the tabular t-value of 1.960. The results of the test of hypothesis indicate that for the teachers in the district of Pinabacdao-San Sebastian, Division of Samar, only their age and in-service training influenced their job performance ratings. Therefore, only these two factors are considered predictors of their performance. Sex, civil status, academic experiences and educational qualification have minimal effect on the job performance if these teachers and thus, cannot predict how these teachers will perform in their teaching jobs. The PAST can be considered a valid and reliable measure of the teachers’ job performance. This conclusion is anchored on the information that the teacher-respondents considered themselves to have obtained objective rating from this instrument and have manifested that they agree to the items in the PAST.
