Vol.3, No.1A

Abstract

Although most individuals agree that work is an important component of life, some people have differing perspectives on labour. People look at work in a variety of ways. Some see it as a way to define their social position, while others see it as a way to earn money. With said claims, this study aims to know the satisfaction and performance of selected academic personnel in a higher educational institution in Quezon City. This is done by assessing the level of satisfaction and performance of the different categories such as incentives and compensation, administrational support, workplace, teaching strategies and methodologies, submission of reports, and exceeding rendered time. It also aims to determine if there is a significant relationship between the level of satisfaction and performance of the academic personnel. 

The respondents are selected academic personnel of higher educational institutions in Quezon City. Through the process of purposive sampling, a total of thirty (30) instructors were selected to participate in the study. The instrument used to gather data is a survey questionnaire. The data gathered were then computed and interpreted using percentages and weighted mean. 

Based on the analysis, it was discovered that most respondents agreed in terms of incentives and compensations, administrational support, and workplace, and strongly agreed regarding teaching strategies and methodologies, submission of reports, and exceeding rendered time. Respondents also encountered problems with satisfaction and performance. Additionally, the relationship between satisfaction and performance of selected academic personnel in the subject higher educational institution has a degree of freedom of 28. The t-computed value of 3.26 (p-value, 0.0310) is less than the tabular value of 2.048 with α=0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected.

The researchers recommend that the institution conduct quarterly evaluations to know their teaching personnel's concerns and overall well-being. It is recommended that the institution set attainable expectations for the employees. It is also recommended that these have corresponding rewards depending on the difficulty. The institution should also hire enough staff, and each task should be assigned to a specific person, allowing them to complete their tasks easily. It is recommended that the institution provide its employees with activities or programs to relieve their stress due to their workload. This may include giving them a proper day off and rewarding them once they have completed their tasks. Small things can help employees relax and continue working.
