Abstract School culture and work values practices of teachers are components that influence the effectiveness and success of public schools. This study attempted to determine the school culture and work values practices among teachers of Public Junior High School in Valencia City Division during the School Year 2024-2025. It sought to find how the respondents perceived school culture, assess their work values practices, and determine the significant relationship between the respondents' perceived school culture and their work values practices. The researcher utilized a stratified sampling procedure to get the number of respondents, of which one hundred fifty (150) teachers and used Slovin’s Formula to arrive at the desired number by grade level. The study employed a descriptive correlational research method to examine respondents’ perceived school culture and their work values practices. Survey questionnaire was utilized to gather the necessary data. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, were used to analyze the results. Lastly, to determine its significant relationship, the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) was applied.
The findings revealed that the perceived school culture was rated as very positive, and the work values practices were rated as highly practiced; hence, there is a significant relationship between the independent and dependent variables. However, respect for students does not show a significant relationship with communication. The study concludes that the school culture is positively student-centered, with respect for learners deeply embedded in professional practice. Teachers recognize that students are central to the school's policies and decisions and show a consistent commitment to active participation, learning ownership, and academic success. This recommends, School heads and teachers should constantly uphold work values practices and maintain positive school culture in everyday teaching interactions.
