Abstract This study examines how personal cultural orientation influences work task motivation and teacher performance in public junior and senior high schools in Governor Generoso, Davao Oriental. 323 teachers from 8 public schools were surveyed using a descriptive-correlational design and stratified random sampling. Data were collected through validated questionnaires and statistical tools such as mean analysis, Pearson-product moment correlation, and mediation analysis were employed. Findings revealed very high levels of motivation and performance among teachers and a high level of personal cultural orientation. A significant positive correlation was found between work task motivation and performance, which was partially mediated by personal cultural orientation. Furthermore, work task motivation positively influenced personal cultural orientation, and personal cultural orientation had a modest positive effect on teacher performance. Cultivating cultural identity may enhance teacher’s motivation and performance, it implies that educational institutions shall continually create activities that can boost motivation and cultural orientation for optimum teacher effectiveness.
