This study investigates the organizational climate, organizational mindfulness, and school effectiveness in the selected public schools in the Cotabato Division. The design of this study was a convergent design where data was collected and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative tools. A total of 300 respondents were employed to survey questionnaires, 10 respondents from the in-depth interview and 7 respondents from focus group discussion. The data was collected and interpreted using the statistical treatment for the quantitative strands. It was found that the level of organizational climate, organizational mindfulness, and school affectivity were very high. Results from the correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between Organizational mindfulness and organizational climate towards school effectiveness. The qualitative strands obtained results from the transcribed in-depth interview and focus group discussions were gathered and analyzed using thematic synthesis. The themes that emerge from the qualitative questionnaires on teachers' lived experiences in organizational climate, mindfulness, and school affectivity are Supportive Involvement, School Intervention, Commitment, Perceived Belief, and Collective Efforts. Upon the merging of salient data integration, it was shown that there was corroboration that was satisfied on the merging and converging of data like the organizational climate in "Rule Oriented" and Supportive Involvement, and Innovation Oriented and School Intervention.
