Organizational Condition of Private Schools and Colleges in Nueva Ecija ()
1. Introduction
Healthy organizations need to maximize human resources to achieve their goals; they need to integrate their programs and empower their employees. Instead of conventional organizational structures that rely heavily on resource control and cost reduction, productivity, and profitability economic principles, the emphasis of modern companies is on human capital management [1].
In order to evaluate effectively the organizational conditions for healthy work, other aspects of the work system must be considered simultaneously [2]. Organizational wellbeing can be characterized as how well an organization is able to cope with the pressures of different principles for the good of the people, the staff and the organization in general [3].
Having established the fact that teachers are important for the schools’ good organizational condition, school administrators are encouraged to inspire and enable teachers to turn this into the success that will inevitably lead to better students’ academic performance [4].
