Cultural Contexts and Workplace Dynamics: Participation, Justice, Motivation, and Turnover Intention Among Filipino Educators in Thailand

Filipino teachers prefer collaborative decision-making, which contrasts with the centralized structures prevalent in Thai schools. This study examined the consequences of participatory decision-making among Filipino teachers in schools across Thailand. Data collected from 222 conveniently selected Filipino teachers revealed that participation positively influences procedural justice and intrinsic motivation while reducing turnover intention. Furthermore, procedural justice enhances motivation and decreases turnover intention. Motivation also lessens turnover intention. The study identified the mediating effects of procedural justice and motivation, along with the moderating effects of tenure and salary. These findings offer practical insights into improving human resource policies within cross-cultural educational settings.
