ABSTRACT

This study determined the level of organizational resilience, risk Based thinking, and
performance of Southville Global Education Network (SGEN). The results would serve as the
basis for a framework for performance excellence. More specifically, it would determine
organizational resilience of the SGEN schools in terms of its shared vision, commitment to
resilience, network perspective, roles and responsibilities, understanding and analysis of hazards
and consequences, insurance awareness, informed decision making, willingness to learn,
adaptation ability, cooperative awareness, and work enthusiasm. It would also determine the risk
based thinking of SGEN schools in terms of establishing the context, identifying the internal
environment, setting the objectives, identifying events, assessing risks, responding to risks,
controlling activities, informing and communication, and monitoring. Moreover, the study
would also describe the organizational performance of the SGEN schools based on
effectiveness, efficiency, ongoing relevance, and financial viability. It would test the significant
differences between resilience and risk based thinking when the respondents were grouped into
schools. It would test the significant relationship between resilience and performance of the
organization. Lastly, it would present a model for performance excellence of SGEN schools.
Descriptive method of research was used. The participants of the study were management
members, teachers, and non-teaching employees of Southville Global Education Network
(SGEN) schools using Raosoft with 95% significance level and 5 % margin of error with a
computed sample size of 220. The researcher utilized stratified proportional allocation sampling
in selecting the respondents from 486 samples. Results revealed that in terms of organizational
resilience, the majority of the SGEN schools was strong in shared vision, adaptation ability, and
cooperative awareness. Majority of the SGEN schools are rated good in terms of commitment to
resilience, network perspective, roles and responsibilities, understanding and analysis of hazards

context, identifying the internal environment, and setting the objectives. In terms of identifying

SGEN schools were strong in effectiveness. The other indicators of organizational performance

understanding and analysis of hazards and consequences, insurance awareness, informed
decision making, adaptation ability, cooperative awareness, and work enthusiasm. There was no
significant difference in commitment to resilience, network perspective, and willingness to
learn. There was a significant difference in terms of identifying the internal environment and in
setting the objectives for risk based thinking. There was no significant difference in terms of
