The Organizational Culture of Selected Private Higher Education Institutions in Bulacan as Correlates to Work Values of Their Faculty Members: Bases for an Enhancement Program

Abstract

This study attempts to establish a significant relationship between the prevailing organizational culture and the dominant work values of faculty members in three higher education institutions in Bulacan, Philippines—Centro Escolar University, La Consolacion University Philippines, and Baliuag University—in the first semester of academic year 2015-2016 with the view of crafting an enhancement program on organizational culture. Respondents answered questions on the organizational culture and their dominant work values and how these two factors interact. Findings show a strong organizational culture pervading the three institutions and the faculty putting a high premium on achievement, continuous learning in the work place, leadership of their superiors and being able to help others in the performance of their duties and responsibilities. The study recommends motivating the faculty to pursue post-graduate degrees in their area of specialization and for the institutions to conduct seminar-workshops on professed work values and prevailing organizational culture towards creating a work culture that fosters achievement, continuous learning, and supportive relationships among administrators, faculty and non-teaching personnel.
