Factors Affecting Job Satisfaction of Public Secondary School Teachers in the Philippines

job satisfaction will be examined. This study will take place in nine elementary schools, two

The relationship between job satisfaction and job performance needs to be analyzed before a decision can be made to increase job satisfaction to positively affect job performance. Conventional opinion holds that increased levels of job satisfaction leads to increased job performance. Empirical evidence does not validate such a strong correlation. Alternative models exist that describe job satisfaction and job performance having mutual influence on one another as well as no influence at all. Job performance may also be enhanced through organizational and personal factors like reward systems and self-esteem. Job performance itself has multiple aspects and each aspect can be affected through different means. A simplistic correlation between job satisfaction and job performance should be avoided. Job performance can be improved by providing training and development opportunities to employees.

Descriptive research has been adopted. Hypotheses testing has been carried out through Chi-square test and ANOVA.

Section A will seek to capture demographic profile of the respondents, thus gender, age and education levels and size of the organization. The four items will be in the form of multiple choice questions in which respondents will be required to choose only one choice.

In consideration questionnaire has been designed that tends to involve 5 research relevant questions taking into account Likert five-point scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree notions that support respondents to provide the most authentic response. In reference to quantitative research investigation, random sampling techniques have been identified as the relevant aspect. For the purpose of research examination, sample size of 10 participants were selected from whom responses has been gathered.

Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from the respondents. A questionnaire comprising of both structured and semi-structured items was adopted for the study.

The questions that were covered in the questionnaire are presented below as a tabular form:

Employees who are satisfied with what they do always tend to establish a desirable work environment, they also prove to be more productive and efficient, and this always results to greater profit, employee retention as well as customer satisfaction. It is important for managers and executives to understand job satisfaction, whatever creates it, the manner in which it should be fixed and the way of managing it. In job satisfaction there are organizational behavioral concerns that relate to it, for example, turnover, absenteeism, customer satisfaction, and workplace deviance and organization citizenship behavior.

The study will adopt a mixed approach. This involves the use of both qualitative (interview) and quantitative (questionnaire) methods. Quantitative method also known as descriptive survey was adopted as one of the research method to describe the respondent

Job satisfaction is the very important factor in general quality of life because it is closely connected with working life (e.g. Argyle, 1989; Bang & Lee, 2006), with family life, everyday life, and mental health (Orpen, 1978; Schmitt and Bedeian, 1982; Faragher, Cass & Cooper, 2005). Level of job satisfaction is also highly related to turnover, absenteeism rate, work productivity or accomplishment (Muchinsky, 1977; Organ, 1977). Many researchers (e.g. Cherrington, 1994; Acorn, Ratner & Crawford, 1997; Ostroff, 1992; Spector, 1997) state that employees who experience high job satisfaction contribute to organisational commitment, job involvement, their physical, mental health and overall well-being are improved.

In Chapter 4 will be described the methodology which was used. In this chapter, we will explain the reasons for choosing this methodology and give more details about this study. We will explain and present the methods that help us in this project. An overview of the method that was used to collect the data will be given. Afterwards, the statistical concepts will be explained thoroughly.

This chapter provides the details of data and methodology that are being used in this study. The data section clearly elaborate on the process of collecting the data that needs to be obtained in order to perform the tests while the methodology section elaborates on the types of methods or tests that will be performed.

We conducted this research with the help of Questionnaire and from the initial stages, to the final designing of questionnaire; we conducted our research through Exploratory research as well as Descriptive research
