Organizational Culture and Job Satisfaction of Teachers at Panabo City National High School

This study examined the significant relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction among employees of Panabo City National High School during the academic year 2025–2026. Specifically, it sought to determine the level of organizational culture and job satisfaction, establish the relationship between these two variables, and identify which domain of organizational culture most strongly influences employees’ job satisfaction. The study employed a quantitative, non-experimental research design using a descriptive-correlational approach. Data were collected from both teaching and non-teaching personnel through standardized and researcher-adapted survey questionnaires that were validated for reliability and appropriateness to the study context. Descriptive statistical tools were utilized to determine the levels of organizational culture and job satisfaction, while inferential statistical analyses were applied to examine the relationship between the two variables and identify significant predictors. Results revealed that organizational culture and job satisfaction were both rated at a very high level, indicating a positive work environment and a high degree of employee contentment within the institution. Furthermore, findings confirmed a significant positive relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction, suggesting that a supportive and well-defined organizational culture contributes meaningfully to employees’ overall satisfaction at work. Among the domains of organizational culture examined, bureaucratic culture emerged as the most significant predictor of employees’ job satisfaction. This result highlights the importance of clear structures, defined roles, established policies, and systematic procedures in fostering satisfaction among school personnel. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for school administrators and policymakers in strengthening organizational practices that enhance employee satisfaction, promote efficiency, and sustain a positive institutional climate. Overall, the study underscores the critical role of organizational culture in shaping job satisfaction within public secondary schools.
