Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 03
Abstract
The decreasing deployment of Filipino officers to the international shipping companies has caused alarms to the Maritime Higher Educational Institutions and MARINA. This study will investigate the values of the Filipino officers employed by the international shipping companies. The result may be useful to the Philippine government in formulating curriculum for the MHEIs’ This study was conceptualized to ascertain what are the values that are inherent among Filipino officers employed by international shipping companies. The SIRC 2002 survey showed Filipino seafarers occupy the No. 1 spot in global deployment. However, the recent study by the Baltic International Maritime Council (BIMCO/ICS) 2021 showed that deployment of Filipino officers has slowed down. The respondents of this study chosen using the simple random sampling method were the 94 Filipino Management and Operational level officers who were employed by international shipping companies. Hard copies of the questionnaires were administered to the respondents in the Philippines while soft copies were sent to Filipino officers on board. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools such as frequency, mean, and standard deviation. Significant differences among variables were determined through One-way ANOVA and t-test of Independent Samples. Results showed that the values of integrity, godliness, and loyalty were predominantly high among the respondents while discipline was low. The study showed that discipline was low among senior officers, while it was found to be high among junior officers. Further research should be done to validate the result of this study and the impact of the intervention program.
