The disposition he has toward the work environment is one that has its roots in the values and experience that he brings to his job. The attitude that a person has toward work itself can influence how quickly and willingly he will adapt to his job and how much satisfaction he will obtain from it. Indeed, knowledge and understanding of work values among secondary school teachers would enhance and facilitate understanding and solving various academic problems arising from the influence of operational values. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the extent of relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and work values among secondary school teachers in Central Mindanao. Specifically, it is designed to answer the following research problems: What are the socio-demographic characteristics of the teacher - respondents and characteristics of public and private secondary school in Central Mindanao? How do the teacher-respondents perceive work values such as Achievement, Competence, Recognition, Interpersonal Relations, Security, Community Relations, Creativity, Supervisory Relations, Prestige, Aesthetic, Intellectual Stimulation, and Enthusiasm?
