Abstract

 This study aimed to determine the extent of workplace collaboration and overall job satisfaction of elementary school teachers in Indanan North District, Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education-Sulu during the School Year 2023-2024. The study involved 100 teachers, mostly female, married, aged 31-40 and 41-50 years, with master's degrees and 5 years or less of teaching experience. On average, school administrators and teachers had good work relationships, and teachers were very satisfied with their teaching jobs. The study found that other variables, such as gender, age, civil status, and length of service, did not influence how teachers assessed the extent of workplace relationships. The study also found that the group of teachers who perceived workplace collaboration as very good likely had the same overall job satisfaction. The study supports Abun et al.'s Workplace Relationship Model, which posits that workplace relationships are characterized by employer-employee relationships and employeeemployee relationships. Employer-employee relationships involve open communication between supervisors and subordinates, while employee-employee relationships involve mutual respect and cooperation in community programs or activities.
