Abstract

There are a variety of factors that can lead to the perception of compensation insecurity that arises as a consequence of professional inadequacy. For the purpose of this study, the focus will be on the ways in which the compensations and professional inferiority effect the services provided by basic education instructors working in private schools. As a result of the intricacy and multidimensional character of professional worth and compensation, it is vital to take into consideration the possibility that the perceptions of our twenty participants, who originate from three separate basic education departments, might not be accurate or fair. A discourse analysis will be conducted on the issue of basic education teachers who are employed in private schools in the city of Zamboanga. The goal of this study is to examine and conduct a discourse analysis on the subject of salary instability and professional inadequacy. An approach that is qualitative in character, this form of research is carried out through the use of purposive sampling and thematic analysis. The findings make it abundantly evident that there is a huge problem when it comes to the situation in which one person is obtaining adequate compensation and for which they are entitled to it. As a consequence of this, those who have been adversely affected by the loss of compensation have had emotions of uneasiness and have eventually formed a sense of professionalism that is substandard.
