Abstract

This research study aimed to determine the factors that influence the longevity of St. Mary's College, Quezon City personnel. The participants of the study were employees of the institution for school year 2014-2015. They were chosen on the basis of their employment record of five (5) to forty (40) years in the service. The respondents came from the different departments of the institution: Basic Education Department (59), Non-Teaching Personnel (27), and Maintenance Personnel (26), yielding a total population of one hundred twelve (112). The researchers made a questionnaire composed of twenty (20) items which were classified into three (3) categories: Existence-Financial, Relatedness-Relational, and Growth-Professional. Based on the findings, the employees were found to be satisfied with the way the benefits were handled by the institution; that the teamwork within the department was very much visible among the employees; and that the professional and spiritual formation provided by the school was well-appreciated by the members. Relatedness-Relational factor was considered the primary reason for the continued service of the personnel in the institution.
