The current study focused on the perceived resilience and intention to quit among college teachers in the context of online learning. This is descriptive-correlational research which aimed to assess the moderating effect of perceived resilience on intention to quit of college teachers. This research utilized adapted instrument which measured intention to quit and perceived resilience. The instrument was employed to 172 college teachers in selected Higher Educational Institutions in the province. The researcher was conducted to selected HEIs in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija including, College of the Immaculate Concepcion, PHINMA-Araullo University, Our Lady of Fatima University-Cabanatuan Campus, and Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology. The researcher used the electronic way of gathering data using Google form. After the collection of data, descriptive statistics was used such as weighted means to describe the intention to quit and perceived resilience. Results showed that the intention to quit of college teachers was described as “in a small degree” while their perceived resilience was in “normal level”. More so, perceived resilience did not affect the intention to quit of the participants. The findings would be beneficial to future researchers to explore the level of perceived resilience in terms of culture on their job satisfaction and commitment in workplace in the midst of pandemic.
