Outstanding educational achievements stem from the dedication and passion of teachers who are deeply committed to their profession. This study investigates the significant influence of the work environment on the passion skills of teachers in private senior high schools. Employing a quantitative, non-experimental research design, specifically a descriptive-predictive approach with a correlational technique, the study sampled 100 private senior high school teachers from Davao City using simple random sampling. Data analysis involved Mean, Pearson r, and Linear Regression. The findings revealed that both the work environment and teachers' passion skills were rated at a high descriptive level. Furthermore, while the correlation between the work environment and passion skills was weak, the association was statistically significant. These results suggest that a conducive work environment plays a crucial role in supporting employee performance and fostering organizational efficiency. Moreover, the findings highlight the substantial impact of the work environment on teachers’ passion skills, underscoring the need for institutional support and initiatives that enhance workplace conditions. It is recommended that educational institutions continue to strengthen work environments and cultivate values that inspire passion in teaching, ultimately enhancing student learning outcomes.
