A total of 55 Philippine Army Soldiers participated as respondents of the study in which they were profiled as to age, marital status, rank, and years in service. Results show that there is a very high personal accomplishment, high self-efficacy, low occupational exhaustion, and low skepticism. Results also show that there is a significant difference in personal accomplishment, self-efficacy, and occupational exhaustion over the years in the service demographic profile.
