Indicators of Evangelization as an Organizational Culture of SVD Educational Institutions: Integration to Its Hr Practices

Abstract

This concept of organizational culture had been the subject of numerous researches across all industries including schools; Catholic educational institutions are not exempted. The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the integration of evangelization as an organizational culture to the human resource practices of SVD educational institutions. One of the major drivers of organization success is culture and because of this, aligning strategies and decision-making with cultural ideals are indispensable. Due to these fluid characteristics of culture, organizations are induced to relentlessly reassess their values and norms in order to recalibrate their practices whenever a new organizational culture emerged due to the rapidly changing environment. In this manner, the organization can easily adapt, including its organizational culture and HR practices to reduce any unwanted effects to the operations of the organization. This study used descriptive research to analyze the data gathered from 405 respondents from 11 SVD educational institutions across the Philippines. The results show that evangelization as an organizational culture of SVD educational institutions is integrated into its HR practices namely: hiring, training & development, compensation & benefits, employee relations, performance appraisal, work-life balance, and health & safety.
