Abstract: This dissertation aims to determine the relational dialectics between and among teachers in the workplace. This qualitative phenomenological study was conducted at one of the tertiary institutions in Panabo City, participated by ten College teachers. The data were gathered from the participants’ responses based on the three research questions. Then, the core ideas were drawn from the participant’s responses and were grouped into major themes. The result of the study revealed that college teachers experienced tension, which was proven during the conversation. Competing discourses between teachers speak of relational dialectics. Different language events were observed, and arguments were determined by teachers’ conversations in every language event recorded. Based on the analysis of the result of the study, the three core values of the relational dialectics model, novelty vs. predictability, privacy vs. transparency, and autonomy vs. connectedness, are present among my co-teachers. With the insights elicited from the study, it is recommended that another study be conducted to assess the relational dialectics among teachers in the workplace with another model and core values.
