THE FILIPINO VALUES AND
PERSONALITY It is generally accepted that highly generalized
value and attitude system form deeper levels of
personality content. Values affect business and the
management of organizations. One might ask thefollowing questions: why do Filipinos behave and
continue to behave the way they do? What forces
contributed to the development of the unique
personality of the Filipinos?
The term value is defined as anything good,
important, and desirable in life. It can be
illustrated in the way it is seen at work in ones
behavior.

ANIMALS AND GOALS
Philippine cultural values and attitudes may be
explained in terms of aims and goals. Father
Lynch (1964) describe the aims to be at work in
the observed bahavior in the lowland Filipino. These findings are corroborated by Father
Bulataos classification of values, namely:
emotional closeness and security in a family;
approval by the authority and social betterment;and patience and suffering and endurance. In
another work, he characterizes the Filipino as
personalistic, authoritarian, and small- group
centered.

SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE
One of the most frequently observed patterns of
Filipino behavior which is highly desirable to him,
is the ability to accept ones fellow for what one is,
thinks ones station. Complimenting this culturaltheme, as he calls it, are two other intermediate
values- smoothness of interpersonal relations
(SIR) and sensitivity to personal affront (self-
esteem) or often called amor propio.
To the Filipinos, this is what SIR implies: the
facility at getting along with others in such a way
as to avoid outward signs of conflict: sour looks,
harsh words, open disagreement, or physical
violence.

PERSONALITY OF
BUSINESS Personality, the most distinctive feature of any
individual, is one of the major qualifications in
applying for the a job. Although personality shows
itself even when there are no people around toimpress, we shall discuss personality on terms of
external impressions, which recognized easily.
This is bound to be true, since a persons
appearance may represent what he wishes hewere like, not what he actually is. In addition, most
personality characters are specific, not
generalized. For example, the traits of accuracy,
punctually, cleanliness, and so on are highly
specific.

FACIAL APPEARANCE
Facial appearance for some is a minor part
of personality. The Laird (1961) believe that
it becomes a major item when the
appearance is either unusually attractive or
unusually homely.
In using cosmeties, Carney stresses that
too much rouge will make a girl look older,older, and cheap. While lipstick is
indispensable, mascara and eye shadow
are considered out of place in the daytime.

AN EFFECTIVE
PERSONALITY Ones personality is considered effective
when a persons behavior manifests
successful adjustment to a given area if his
environment.
The key to a good personality is the ability
to adjust equally well to various types of life
situations, to make those responses whichresult in the greatest satisfaction of both
oneself and ones associates. The person

MATURE PERSONALITY
Peale (1986) points out that a mature personality is
that which takes into account the elements of
physicality, morality, and spirituality in balanced
combinations. One has to work hard to gain it.Physical or outward appearance, however great or
fantastic, does not imply mature personality.
One may put it as an individuals pattern of habits,
attitudes and traits as well as of adjustment thatdetermines the maintenance of his self-respect in
relation to his environment. One must have reached
the full development of all its aspects- physical,
biological, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and
moral.

EARMARKS OF A MATURE
PERSONALITYIn business, mature personality is a requisite.Behavioral scientists generally agree that thefollowing are the identifying marks of a maturepersonality:
1. A mature person accepts responsibilities; hedoes not shrink from duties.
2. He accepts an unpleasant task, considering it asa normal or ordinary experience which shapeshis life.
3. He does not nurse grudges. Instead, he tries tounderstand others and does not insist on beingunderstood by them.
4. He is amiable and enjoys the company of many
different persons. He tries to remember everyperson not by his imperfections but by the
8/10/2019 Report Psycho

5. He does not expect his fellowmen to be perfect since he knows that
everyone is subject to human frailties.
6. A mature individual has lots of patience and perseverance towards work
since he is aware of the fact that it requires time before he can profit from them.
7. He can accept, even enlist, help, considering this not a sign of weakness but
of maturity.
8. He has tolerance. Laird et al. (1975) define tolerance as the capacity to
listen to another persons point of view and to try to understanding his values.
He allows others enjoy the expression of their opinions and beliefs.
9. He profits from constructive criticism. He takes criticism as an ordinary outlet
for improving his qualities or discarding those unpleasantness that the majority
see in him.
10. He knows that he cannot always be dependent upon his parents for support.
Earning will be his next step to be able to run his own life. A mature individual
then tends to increase his responsibility specially at the time he his own family.
11. He works with a long-range plan. Erlich (1967) expresses the view that a
person who has a mature personality is one whose work is motivated by a long-range plan. For instance, a young married couple is said to be working with a
long-range plan if they take steps toward having their own house and save
money for the future of their children.
12. Experts are one in their view that a mature person has courage to do right
when others around him are doing wrong. He has a strong determination not to
do a thing he fully knows destroy him and others.

PERSONALITY CAN BE
IMPROVED Improving ones effect upon others is the goalof anybody. Since no two individuals are
exactly alike, no two people can be improved
by exactly the same plan. If you really wish to improve your personality,
you need to develop your know-how in such
areas as: manner of speaking, understanding
of other people, their attitudes and beliefs.
Improving your personality in a sincere and
lasting way will be much work but will be fun
too, because it centers your attention uponeo le ourself and others.

PERSONALITY
IMPROVEMENTSome of Dr. Roy Beutherssuggestions to improvepersonality follow:
1. Be conscious of the other person. Talk about the
subject that interest him, and will regard you as a
person with an interesting personality.
2. Assume that people like you. If you show that you
want people to talk to you, they will respond
warmly.
3. Admit your defects.
4. Admire your friends.
5. Associate with people who are successful and
happy. Seek the company of others who can give
you new points of view and thoughts, new hopes
8/10/2019 Report Psycho

6. Attend social gatherings.
7. Change your environment occasionally.Take a vacation and rest in a new place.Change your home and house atmospherewhenever you can.
If we can follow the above, personality canbe improved.
WHEN IS PERSONALITY GOOD? Yourpersonality is good if it makes you happyand makes your associates happy too; if
you are likeable; if you are successful inmost of your undertakings; if your emotionsare pleasant for you as well as for others.

DEVELOPING
PERSONALITYThe development of our personality is our greatresponsibility. Some reasons why there is a need
for developing personality are:
1. For social acceptance,
2. For self-satisfaction,
3. For self-confidence, and4. To keep ourselves on the job.

1. The Filipino reacts strongly to social acceptance. Itis the third need in the Filipino hierarchy of needs,
that is, the desire to be taken by his fellows forwhat they believe him to be and treated inaccordance with his status.
2. Another important reason for developingpersonality is for self-satisfaction. We feel not only
comfortable but also happy when we have a goodpersonality.
3. An important consequence of a well-developpersonality is self-confidence. When we are awarethat we have a pleasing personality, we have the
confidence to face anybody.4. Of much significance as to why we have to developour personality is to keep ourselves on the job.Personality has a great deal to do with holding ajob.
