| Abstract | The general purpose of this study was to generate a theory on work passion development in schools. The study explored the concepts of work passion through the educational administrators’ life experiences and the influence of their work environment. Constructivist grounded theory design was used on ten (10) school heads from private schools in Antipolo City and public schools in the Province of Rizal. Purposive sampling was used for the first set of qualified respondents, while snowball sampling was used for identifying the remaining participants who provided saturation of data. The data was collected through semi-structured interview and the curriculum vitae that provided information on the profile of the school heads. Analysis of data followed the “three generic stages” considered as the open coding, focused coding and theoretical coding, and was validated by means of comparison to the existing knowledge found in the literature. Results showed that work passion can be developed and maintained among aspiring and practicing educational leaders through stages named as (1) selfimprovement coming from within, (2) support and trust from influential individuals, (3) strengthened work commitment that is purpose driven, (4) skills enhancement, and (5) significant contributions through positive results. This investigation also determined the general methods of exemplifying work passion in schools, the positive outcomes of work passion to an organization, and helpful ways to maintain work passion in schools. The study is recommended to be evaluated by the school policy makers based on looking at individual characteristics that affect the overall productivity of an organization. The school administrators could also use this study to reflect on understanding the concept of work passion and its effect on individual performance and organizational success. Lastly, researchers could use the findings to study relevant issues on human behavior and organization, |
