Abstract
Unprecedented changes happen in the educational system that significantly affects the teachers. This challenge gained interest to the researchers and seek to link factors that could strengthen readiness among teachers. As a result, the goal of this descriptive-correlation study was to identify the role of workplace spirituality in moderating the relationship between emotional intelligence and transition readiness. A survey was administered to three hundred seven (307) public school teachers in Davao del Sur. Using Exploratory Factor Analysis, five factors were derived from workplace spirituality, three for emotional intelligence, and two for change readiness. Structural Equation Modelling and Sobel’s test were used to determine the mediating effect. The findings showed that emotional intelligence significantly influence workplace and change readiness. However, only recently has it been discovered that workplace spirituality has little bearing on transition preparedness. Furthermore, the data demonstrated that teachers' workplace spirituality had a moderating influence on emotional intelligence and transition preparedness.
