Abstract
The primary purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between professional development and thriving skills of teaching personnel in a private educational institution in Davao City, Philippines. The study employed a non-experimental quantitative research design using descriptive-comparative and descriptive-correlational methods. Complete enumeration was utilized to select the teaching personnel who participated in the study, and survey questionnaires were used to gather the necessary data. Mean, standard deviation, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Pearson product-moment correlation were utilized to analyze the data and answer the research objectives. The findings revealed that the levels of professional development and thriving skills of teaching personnel are both rated very high. Furthermore, no significant difference was found in the levels of professional development and thriving skills when the respondents were grouped according to their length of teaching experience. On the other hand, the correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between professional development and thriving skills among teaching personnel. This finding suggests that professional development may contribute to the promotion of thriving skills among teaching personnel. The results highlight the importance of strengthening professional development programs to support the well-being, engagement, and overall thriving of teaching personnel.
