Abstract:
This study investigated the mediating effect of teacher’s educational practices on the relationship between workplace
spirituality and intercultural effectiveness among the public elementary school teachers in New Corella District, Davao
del Norte, with 314 respondents. This study utilized a non-experimental quantitative research design employing a
descriptive-correlational approach. The findings revealed that overall level of workplace spirituality is in terms of
compassion, meaningful work, transcendence, and mindfulness is high. The level of intercultural effectiveness in
terms of behavioral flexibility, interaction relaxation, interactant respect, message skills, identity maintenance, and
interaction management is high. The level of teacher’s educational practices in terms of effective, self-regulation,
attention to relationship, active methodologies, and care on activities is very high. The hypothesis was rejected which
indicates that the results mean that there is a significant relationship among the three correlational variables. Findings
revealed that the teacher’s educational practices significantly mediate the relationship between workplace spirituality
and intercultural effectiveness among the public elementary school teachers.
