CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Rationale

is a significant endeavor that aims to explore and understand the attitudes, preferences,
and priorities of maritime students concerning work-related values. PMI Colleges Bohol, being a
reputed institution for maritime education, serves as an ideal setting for this study. The
rationale for this research is grounded in the recognition that work values play a crucial role in
shaping the career aspirations, job satisfaction, and overall success of individuals in the
maritime industry.
Understanding the work values of maritime students is essential for several reasons. Firstly, the
maritime sector is known for its unique challenges, demanding work environment, and
distinctive career trajectory. Therefore, identifying the values that resonate with these students
can contribute to the development of targeted educational programs that align with their
expectations and aspirations. Secondly, exploring work values among maritime students can
provide insights into their motivations and preferences, aiding educators and industry
stakeholders in tailoring career guidance and counseling services.
Moreover, this research can offer valuable inputs to the industry by shedding light on the
expectations of the upcoming workforce, potentially influencing organizational policies and
practices. As the maritime sector evolves in response to technological advancements and
changing global dynamics, understanding the work values of the future workforce becomes
increasingly important for maintaining a skilled and motivated workforce.
The geographical focus on PMI Colleges Bohol adds a specific context to the study, recognizing
that regional and cultural factors may influence work values. By concentrating on a specific
institution, the research can provide nuanced insights into the dynamics of work values within
the local maritime education landscape. Overall, this study has the potential to contribute to
the enhancement of maritime education and industry practices by fostering a better
understanding of the work values that drive the aspirations of maritime students at PMI
Colleges Bohol.

Theoritical Background
draws upon established theories and frameworks in the fields of career development,
organizational psychology, and education. One key theoretical foundation for this study is the Theory of
Work Adjustment (TWA). Developed by René Dawis and Lloyd Lofquist, TWA posits that individuals seek
a work environment that aligns with their needs, values, and abilities, and this congruence leads to job
satisfaction and success. Applied to maritime education, understanding the work values of students at
PMI Colleges Bohol through the lens of TWA can provide insights into the factors influencing their career
choices and preferences.

Additionally, the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) is relevant to this research. SCCT emphasizes the
role of social factors, observational learning, and self-efficacy in career development. Maritime students'
work values are likely influenced by the experiences, role models, and social norms within the maritime
education context. Analyzing work values through SCCT can help uncover the social dynamics shaping
the career perceptions and choices of students at PMI Colleges Bohol.

Furthermore, considering the unique demands of the maritime industry, the research can benefit from
applying Holland's Theory of Vocational Personalities and Work Environments. Holland proposes that
individuals are drawn to work environments that align with their personality types. Maritime students at
PMI Colleges Bohol may exhibit distinct preferences for work values based on their personality traits,
and understanding this connection can inform educational practices and career guidance strategies.

Finally, the study may integrate elements of the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, acknowledging that work
values are often intertwined with broader life goals and aspirations. Recognizing the hierarchy of needs
can provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying motivations that drive maritime students'
values in their pursuit of a career in the maritime industry.

In summary, the theoretical background of this research encompasses TWA, SCCT, Holland's Theory, and
Maslow's Hierarchy, offering a comprehensive framework to explore and interpret the work values of
maritime students at PMI Colleges Bohol.
