ABSTRACT

The research examines the effects of Confucian style of management particularly on the principle of Five Constant Virtues (benevolence, righteousness, ritual propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness) on job performance of selected East Asian electronics companies in Metro Manila. The study was motivated by six (6) research objectives backed by the hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between the implementation of the five constant virtues in relation to job performance. The researcher included four major electronics companies, gathering a total number of 272 respondents. Data gathering utilized a survey questionnaire as well as interviews which were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Pearson R Correlation. After the needed statistical tools were employed, it was found out that the respondents were aware of the existence of Confucius and his teachings and that the teachings of Confucius were also present in the companies participating in the study. The study further revealed that the teachings, virtues, and principles taught by Confucius are positively affecting the job performance of the employees.
