Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
This study applied clearly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure that only relevant, credible, and
methodologically sound research was considered in the review. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1)
empirical, peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025; (2) studies that examined teacher job
performance and its related determinants such as leadership, organizational climate, job satisfaction, professional
development, or cultural adaptation; (3) research conducted within Philippine and United States educational
settings; and (4) studies that employed quantitative research designs, including correlational, descriptive,
regression, or comparative analyses, and reported measurable statistical data (e.g., means, correlations,
regression coefficients). Studies were excluded if they were (1) published before 2015, as earlier literature may
not align with recent educational reforms such as the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) and
the ongoing U.S. teacher evaluation reforms; (2) qualitative or theoretical in nature, focusing only on conceptual
discussions without measurable data; (3) not conducted within the school or teacher context; or (4) lacking
accessible full texts or credible peer-reviewed publication status.
The 2015–2025 time frame was deliberately chosen for its relevance and alignment with major educational
reforms and global policy shifts emphasizing teacher quality and performance. For instance, the implementation
of the PPST in 2017 in the Philippines marked a significant national effort to professionalize and standardize
teacher competencies (Cabradilla, 2025; DepEd, 2017), while in the United States, teacher evaluation and
accountability systems continued to evolve following federal initiatives such as Every Student Succeeds Act of
2015. Limiting the review to this period ensures the inclusion of contemporary and policy-aligned research,
capturing the most recent developments, methodological advances, and contextual realities affecting teachers’
work and performance (Siddaway et al.,2019; Page et al., 2021). This strategic delimitation enhances the validity
and applicability of the review findings in understanding current educational systems and teacher performance
frameworks
Selection and Data Extraction
A total of 132 records were initially identified across the selected databases. After reviewing titles and abstract,
64 qualitative studies, mixed method, and non-education related studies were excluded. In the eligibility stage,
35 full-text articles were assessed for their relevance and methodological quality, to ensure that only research
with clear quantitative design, valid statistical tools, and direct focus on teachers’ job performance were
considered. At the end of paper assessment, 17 quantitative studies met all inclusion criteria: nine conducted in
the Philippines and eight in the United States. Each study, data extraction focused on key variables such as the
author and year of publication, locale and sample size, research design, and statistical method, independent
variables the predictors, dependent variable teachers’ job performance, finally the reported statistical results
including correlation coefficients, regression weights or explained variance.
Data Analysis
Data extracted were coded and grouped by country. Statistical relationships were summarized using correlation
and regression coefficients reported in each study. Moreover, common predictors were categorized into five
domains: leadership, self-efficacy/competence, satisfaction/ motivation, workload/conditions, and evaluation
systems. Quantitative patterns were analyzed using cross-tabulation and narrative synthesis.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This section presents the synthesized quantitative findings from the seventeen empirical studies conducted
between 2015 until 2025 in the Philippines and the United States that examined factors influencing teachers’ job
performance. The results are organized based on research questions, focusing on the major factors of
performance, the roles of leadership, organizational climate, professional development, and cultural adaptation,
and the influence of national frameworks on how performance is defined and measured. The discussion
