Abstract
This study assessed the Adversity Quotient (AQ), demographic variables, and level of commitment among faculty of Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges, a higher education institution in General Santos City, Philippines. The findings served as the basis for the proposed Upskilling Program. A complete enumeration of respondents was employed, using a quantitative-descriptive research approach. In all, 127 faculty members participated in this survey. The researchers used the Three-Component Model (TCM) of Organizational Commitment to measure respondents' levels of commitment across a range of demographic variables, including age, educational attainment, and length of service, and Paul Stoltz's Adversity Response to assess the Adversity Quotient. The data were analyzed employing descriptive statistics. College faculty members had an average Adversity Quotient, according to the results, indicating they need to improve their resilience to face significant challenges and keep going in life. The findings also indicated patterns suggesting that demographic variables, such as age, educational attainment, and length of service, may influence both the Adversity Quotient and commitment levels. The Upskilling Program was therefore recommended to strengthen the faculty's capacity to handle workplace adversity and enhance their commitment to the higher education institution.
