Job Satisfaction among Employees of a Private Catholic Education Institution: A Baseline Study

This study investigates job satisfaction among employees at San Sebastian College-Recoletos, a private Catholic education institution in the Philippines. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs was used to understand employee satisfaction. The research design incorporates a descriptive-comparative methodology to explore the relationships between ages, gender, years of service, salary, campus, classification, and overall job satisfaction. A self-administered survey is the data collection instrument with 80 participants from different employee classifications. Statistical analyses such as mean and Analysis of Variance examine differences in job satisfaction levels. Overall, employees reported that they are satisfied and that safety and security needs are the most confident among other needs. Meanwhile, the overall satisfaction of the employees significantly differs when they are grouped according to age. An action plan has been proposed based on the study findings. Recommendations for future research include longitudinal studies, qualitative investigations, exploration of alternative job satisfaction models, and a focus on specific areas for improvement based on employee needs.

Unveiling Minds: Investigating Critical Thinking Traits of Students in Private Catholic Schools in Siquijor Province

The study aimed to identify the critical thinking traits of students as possible determinants of their critical thinking skills and their relationship to selected variables. The researcher utilized a descriptive-correlational design and employed a systematic sampling technique to identify 130 randomly selected students from private Catholic institutions in the Province of Siquijor. Validated questionnaires were used, and multiple regression analysis, chi-square test, and weighted mean were employed for data analysis. The study found that senior high school students exhibit "high" levels of critical thinking traits in the following areas: truth-seeking, open-mindedness, analyticity, systematicity, critical thinking self-confidence, inquisitiveness, and cognitive maturity. Their critical thinking skills in interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and self-regulation are also “high”. Furthermore, students who exhibit higher levels of truth-seeking, open-mindedness, and critical thinking self-confidence tend to have better critical thinking skills. Female students display more positive critical thinking traits compared to their male counterparts. Students in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) tracks exhibit the most desirable critical thinking traits and skills compared to other groups of students. These findings indicate the need for a concerted effort to maintain and improve critical thinking traits and skills across all student groups, with particular emphasis on gender disparities and stream-specific differences. Educators and policymakers can use these insights to better prepare students for academic success and future challenges.

Besides, this study also describes the principal's transformational leadership behavior (TLB), based on the local culture teaching dimension approach. This research used a qualitative approach, case study design. The data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies to achieve the research objectives. Data analysis used a modified analytic analysis method. Meanwhile, the data validity was used to reveal the credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The results of the study demonstrate that LCMV supports strengthening the character of students, and the application of TLB based on the local culture teaching dimension approach is severely useful in optimizing the implementation of character education strengthening programs (CESP). This research was conducted in 2018 – 2019, at the State Junior High School 1, Private Catholic Junior High School, and Private Islamic Junior High School in the West Flores region, Indonesia. The contribution of this research is to position the moral values of the "Lonto Leok" culture of the Manggarai community as local cultural assets that support the formation of student character.

Harnessing Student Leadership in Building a Center for Students in Recovery at a Private Catholic University in Central Texas

This presentation describes the different processes and steps taken by two faculty members from the social work department and a group of students to start a Center for Student Recovery (CSR) at a small private university in central Texas serving mostly first-generation Hispanic students. The presentation highlights the unique history of the university and how its mission and values align with the creation of a CSR, making it the first private catholic university with this type of service to its student population. Additionally, the presentation showcases the different stages undergone by the stakeholders to get to the point of student involvement. The stages include the social work department obtaining part of an SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) grant which allowed for training to be embedded in certain classes which sparked conversations of substance and alcohol use among the student population. It also included a student health survey that provided a snapshot of the state of substance and alcohol use on campus, and the approval of a proposal presented to the University’s board of trustee and president. Emphasis is given to the process of recruiting the student leadership, the student’s motivation and their role in the creation of the CSR.

KIRCHE IN LIEBESDYNAMIK – INTEGRALES MISSIONSVERSTÄNDNIS... MIT PRAKTISCHEN KONSEQUENZEN. SKIZZE EINER EXISTENZANALYTISCHEN PASTORALTHEOLOGIE

The church in a dynamic of love – an integral understanding of mission with practical consequences. A draft of an existential-analytical-pastoral-theology. If we want to discuss an integral term of mission, we will have to talk about existence in a three-fold way: about God’s existence, the church’s existence as well as the human’s existence. Only within the context of these interdependent definitions we will be able to talk about an integral term of mission. To this day, there has not been any theoretical foundation within the theology which would have explained how these three-fold differentiation of existence could be considered in ecclesiastical action plans, especially with regard to the practical consequences evolving from ecclesiology (the church’s existence), the trinity (God’s existence) and anthropology (human’s existence). Subsequently, I venture to conceptualise a new approach for pastoral theology which is aware of the practical consequences of those three interwoven realities of existence as well as the consequences of a sustainable, existential action plan for a church in light of an integral mission term. This newly developed foundation of an ecclesiastical praxis I call ‘Logo-pastoral and existential-analytical-pastoral-theology’ which is inspired by theologians and philosophers such as Paul Michael Zulehner, Karl Rahner, Romano Guardini, Max Scheler and last but not least Pope Francis. This published suggestion is supposed to be understood as a first draft which was presented for the first time on the 28th of May 2018 at the Private Catholic University in Linz (Austria).

Precarious values in publicly funded religious schools: The effects of government-aid on the institutional character of Ugandan Catholic schools

This qualitative case study explores the effect of government aid and related policies on the institutional character of Catholic secondary schools in Uganda. Private Catholic and government aided Catholic schools showed a clear and coherent institutional identity that fosters a positive school culture. However, Catholic school autonomy and identity are constrained by state policy, especially in government aided Catholic schools. Government control over selection of personnel and students in government aided schools affects mission alignment, goals and values, and perceptions of responsibility. Resource scarcity and leadership are key factors that affect the degree of state influence. This study suggests that further research should consider the relationship between autonomy and school climate and culture, especially in faith-based schools.

A Comparison of Academic Dishonesty Among Business Students in a Public and Private Catholic University

A questionnaire on academic dishonesty was administered to junior and senior business administration majors at a public and a private Catholic university. Students were asked their extent of participation in 16 dishonest academic practices; their ratings of the ethical levels of the practices; their ratings of the likelihood of reasons for participation in the practices; and their sex, grade point average (GPA), and class rank. Though the catalog of the Catholic university indicated a greater emphasis on ethics and values education than did the catalog of the public school, the two groups of students reported very similar levels of academic dishonesty. Possible reasons for the disconnect between the emphasis on values and morals at the Catholic university and the students' academic behavior are discussed.
