Abstract:

This study investigated the relationship between organizational development values, futures thinking skills, and workplace interpersonal relationships among the engineering and technology faculty of Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU) for the academic year 2024–2025. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrated both quantitative and qualitative research designs, with a descriptive-correlational method used to assess the interrelationships among these key variables. Data were collected using a validated and reliable research questionnaire, and analyzed through mean scores, Pearson correlation coefficients, and the Coefficient of Determination. Hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance, ensuring methodological rigor appropriate for social research. Findings revealed that faculty members uphold strong organizational values, particularly in trust and respect, reflecting a culture of honesty, competence, and professionalism. Their futures thinking skills were also highly developed, with adaptability and resilience emerging as dominant traits. Additionally, workplace interpersonal relationships were characterized by respect, empathy, and support, fostering a collaborative work environment. Statistical analysis confirmed strong positive and significant correlations between organizational values, futures thinking skills, and workplace interpersonal relationships. To address challenges such as workload balance, communication gaps, and resource limitations, the study developed 12 Organization Development (OD) intervention programs. The implementation and continuous assessment of these programs are recommended to enhance faculty engagement, innovation, and long-term institutional growth.
