Article: Financial stability towards instructional behaviour and work fulfilment of teachers in the Philippines Journal: International Journal of Knowledge and Learning (IJKL) 2025 Vol.18 No.3 pp.291 - 318 Abstract: In the Philippines, a significant problem has been the lack of financial security for educators. It is common knowledge that having a secure financial situation is an essential component of successful work behaviour and attitudes, both of which can lead to feeling fulfilled in one's work. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not there is a correlation between teachers' stable financial situations and their levels of work fulfilment and instructional behaviour. The data and findings were obtained by sending out questionnaires in the form of a survey to a total of 100 elementary school teachers working in public schools in the Philippines. According to the results of the study, teachers, on the whole, have favourable financial stability, positive instructional behaviour, and a sense of professional fulfilment in their employment. In the meantime, research has shown that the instructional practices of teachers are linked to their financial security. It was also found that the instructional behaviour of teachers is what determines how much they feel like they have accomplished with their work.
