Abstract:

This study investigated the intricate relationships between organizational justice, work resilience, and teacher affective attitudes among public elementary school educators in a district in Occidental Mindoro. Employing quantitative research with descriptive-correlational design, data was collected from 100 elementary school teachers using a closed questionnaire featuring a 5-point Likert scale. Stratified random sampling was utilized to ensure representation across the district. Analysis of the data revealed high levels of perceived procedural, distributive, interpersonal, and informational justice among teachers, suggesting a culture of fairness and transparency within the organizational framework. Furthermore, teachers demonstrated high levels of work resilience, particularly in aspects related to authentic living, vocational alignment, and networking, though areas for growth were identified in stress management, collaborative interaction, and well-being maintenance. Notably, public elementary school teachers in a district in Occidental Mindoro exhibited positive affective attitudes, manifesting in constructive interactions, conflict resolution skills, nurturing relationships, and the cultivation of student-centric classroom environments characterized by high expectations and supportive guidance. The study establishes significant associations between perceived organizational justice and both work resilience and teacher affective attitudes, indicating that perceptions of fairness and transparency impact educators' adaptability and perseverance. Additionally, a notable correlation was observed between work resilience and teacher affective attitudes, emphasizing the role of resilience in fostering positive emotional responses and attitudes among teachers. This research underscores the interconnectedness of organizational justice, work resilience, and teacher affective attitudes, highlighting the importance of cultivating supportive organizational environments to enhance educators' well-being and effectiveness in the public elementary schools.
