Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, educators play an essential role in instructing students. This study aimed to assess the correlation between work, values, engagement, and satisfaction among secondary school teachers in the municipality of Aleason during the School Year 2022-2023. The study’s results reveal that the extent of work values, work environment, work interaction, and work activities amid the pandemic show that they are always engaged in their work in terms of vigor, absorption, and dedication. Teachers are constantly engaged in their work in terms of vigor, absorption, and dedication. The study revealed that teachers indicate satisfaction with their work from the perspective of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and it shows a significant relationship between work values and the engagement of standard school teachers. The result also found that the teacher respondents performed well and took responsibility in compliance with their desire to be fulfilled with their work. The pandemic did not hinder them from performing their tasks.
