Organizational citizenship behaviors are believed to foster organizational commitment, and this behavior is enhanced by workforce diversity and inclusion. To investigate this relationship, this study gathered 273 BPO professionals through an online call for respondents to answer the adopted instruments. The researchers used statistical tools such as mean and standard deviation to measure workforce diversity and inclusion and organizational citizenship behavior. Pearson correlation coefficient and Multiple Linear Regression were used to measure relationship and influence among the variables. The findings revealed that there were slightly-high-to-high levels of workforce diversity and inclusion, as well as its indicators, and a moderate level of organizational citizenship behaviors. The study found a significant relationship between workforce diversity and inclusion, and organizational citizenship behaviors. Further analysis suggests that workforce diversity and inclusion significantly influence organizational citizenship behaviors. Thus, BPO companies are encouraged to foster workforce diversity and inclusion to increase organizational citizenship behaviors, leading to higher organizational commitment and employee retention.

The study was anchored on an understanding of the challenges and triumphs the spornosexual faced, as he gears toward his lifestyle revamp. A case study, facilitated at the University of Mindanao, was planned and executed to better understand the nature of the subject. In September, 2014, the researchers scouted and identified an individual who would qualify as spornosexual. Subsequent interviews were facilitated to comply with case study requirements. The entire interview proceedings were documented using a digital audio recorder and transcribed for future reference. The interview sessions were conducted by the entire research team to ensure compliance and check and balance with the questionnaire designed for the study. It was clear that the spornosexual individual strove to create an image for himself, either to build or rebuild it. Individual experiences affected their individual motives; thus, they strove to adapt and make drastic changes in their lives. The study showed how the spornosexual individual is no different from the common individual, being driven by individual motivations to achieve and be triumphant with personal goals.
