ABSTRACT: This descriptive study investigated the correlation between work values and job performance among 200 blue collar workers of the Cargo Specialist and Development Co. Inc. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product correlation were conducted to analyze the data. Results show that the five (5) dominant types of work values among the respondents are surroundings, economic return, supervisory relations, achievement and aesthetics. These five dominant work values were correlated to the five factors affecting job performance namely, cooperation, organizational skills, attitude, communication and dependability. Surroundings as a work value showed strong positive relationship with cooperation (r=0.515, p-value=0.033) and communication (r=0.722, p-value=0.025); moderate negative relationship with Attitude (r= -0.489, p-value=0.035) and Dependability (r= -0.442, p-value=0.031); however, it is not significantly correlated with organizational skills (r= 0.163, p-value= 0.073). Economic Return was significant only with the job performance factor Attitude (r= 0.413, p-value= 0.041); but showed weak positive relationships but not significant with job performance factors such as Cooperation (r= 0.198, p-value= 0.0654), Organizational Skills (r= 0.146, p-value= 0.073), and Communication (r= 0.115, p-value= 0.112); and very weak positive relationship but not significant with Dependability (r= 0.075, p-value= 0.073). Supervisory Relationships showed very strong positive/ negative relationships with Cooperation (r= -0953, p-value= 0.003), Organizational Skills (r= -.0741, p-value= 00.017), and Attitude (r= -0.952, p-value= 0.003) and Communication (r= 0.829, p-value= 0.015). Achievement showed significant and very strong positive relationship with Attitude (r= 0.966, p-value= 0.002) and Organizational Skills (r= -0.840, p-value= 0.010); strong positive/ negative relationships with Cooperation (r= 0.557, p-value= 0.029) and Dependability (r= -0.722, p-value= 0.015); and moderate negative relationship but not significant with Communication (r= -0.339, p-value= 0.060). Aesthetics showed significant and very strong relationship of Aesthetics with Cooperation (r= 0.851, p-value= 0.009); significant moderate positive/ negative relationship with Dependability (r= 0.432, p-value= 0.032) and Communication (r= -0.428, p-value= 0.025); moderate positive relationship but not significant with Attitude (r= 0.313, p-value= 0.051); and weak positive relationship but not significant with Organizational skills (r= 0.144, p-value= 0.073). In order to address the identified issues among the blue collar workers, a training program was proposed.
