Abstract/Executive Summary
Adolescents in senior high school actively expand and nurture their network, connections, and interpersonal ties within their affiliated organizations. This transformative period of growth profoundly impacts their social capital and potentially influences the acquisition of work skills. Given this, the present study aims to investigate the perceived level of student participation in school organizations, explore its relationship with their social capital, examine the influence of individual school organizations on the development of work skills, and establish the connection between students’ participation in their respective school organization, social capital, and their acquired work skills. A stratified sample technique was employed, targeting a sample size of 150 senior high school students affiliated with school organizations within Metro Manila. A set of criteria derived from the Likert Scale was implemented as the basis for eliciting responses, ensuring precision and accuracy in obtaining desired results. The study concluded that the students’ participation in school organizations yields a moderate increase in their social capital. However, it was determined that students’ acquired work skills are not contingent upon their participation in school organizations. Moreover, the researchers identified a linear relationship between students’ social capital and acquired work skills, indicating that these two variables moderately increase in tandem.

Beyond the Classroom: Correlation Between Social Capital and Student Participation in School Organizations Toward Acquired Work Skills
Adolescents in senior high school actively expand and nurture their network, connections, and interpersonal ties within their affiliated organizations. This transformative period of growth profoundly impacts their social capital and potentially influences the acquisition of work skills.

A stratified sample technique was employed, targeting a sample size of 150 senior high school students affiliated with school organizations within Metro Manila.

The study concluded that the students’ participation in school organizations yields a moderate increase in their social capital. However, it was determined that students’ acquired work skills are not contingent upon their participation in school organizations.
