Abstract


This study examined the relationship between adversity quotient and work performance among College Physical Education Instructors in Region 12, Philippines. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 100 instructors from selected private higher education institutions and state universities and colleges. A modified survey questionnaire was used to measure adversity quotient dimensions, while work performance was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. The control, ownership, reach, and endurance dimensions of the adversity quotient had no significant relationship with work performance. Instructors were able to sustain work performance despite varying levels of adversity quotient. The study highlights the importance of resilience, adaptability, and institutional support in strengthening professional effectiveness.
