    Metodología: El estudio utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo con un cuestionario de encuesta distribuido a 16 altos ejecutivos de instituciones de educación superior públicas y privadas en Zamboanga del Norte, Filipinas. El análisis factorial de máxima verosimilitud fue la herramienta estadística utilizada en este estudio.

    Conclusiones: Los resultados revelaron que se establecieron tres factores de la teoría de la convivencia: factores socioculturales, intrapersonales y sociocolectivos.

    Purpose:  This study paper's primary goal is to develop a theory that may be used to describe the behavioral identity that Higher Education Institutions' top management faces when switching between various university contexts.

      Theoretical framework: Cheek et al. (1994) defined identity orientation as the relative weight people give to different identity features or characteristics when defining who they are. Identity traits fall into three broadly distinct categories: personal, social, and collective.

      Design/methodology/approach:   The study utilized a quantitative approach with a survey questionnaire distributed to 16 top executives in Public and Private Higher Education Institutions in Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines. Factor Analysis of maximum likelihood was the statistical tool used in this study.

      Findings:  Results revealed that three co-existence theory factors were established: socio-cultural, intra-personal, and socio-collective factors.

      Research, Practical & Social implications:   This study explains the implications of the behavioral identity of top executives and offers suggestions for further study.

      Originality/value:  The author proposes a new theory that will add to the body of knowledge in the study of behavioral identity and guide further investigation of the three identified factors of the co-existence theory.

    Objetivo: O objetivo principal deste estudo é desenvolver uma teoria que possa ser usada para descrever a identidade comportamental que a alta administração das Instituições de Ensino Superior enfrenta ao alternar entre vários contextos universitários.

    Referencial teórico: Cheek et ai. (1994) definiram orientação de identidade como o peso relativo que as pessoas atribuem a diferentes características ou características de identidade ao definir quem são. Os traços de identidade se enquadram em três categorias amplamente distintas: pessoais, sociais e coletivas.

    Desenho/metodologia/abordagem: O estudo utilizou uma abordagem quantitativa com um questionário de pesquisa distribuído a 16 altos executivos de Instituições de Ensino Superior Públicas e Privadas em Zamboanga del Norte, Filipinas. A análise fatorial de máxima verossimilhança foi a ferramenta estatística utilizada neste estudo.

    Resultados: Os resultados revelaram que três fatores da teoria da coexistência foram estabelecidos: fatores socioculturais, intrapessoais e sociocoletivos.

    Pesquisa, implicações práticas e sociais: Este estudo explica as implicações da identidade comportamental dos altos executivos e oferece sugestões para estudos mais aprofundados.

    Originalidade/valor: O autor propõe uma nova teoria que irá agregar ao corpo de conhecimento no estudo da identidade comportamental e orientar a investigação adicional dos três fatores identificados da teoria da coexistência.
