Abstract:

This study explored the relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance among 130 respondents— comprising 60 Bukidnon Technical Vocational Education and Training Institutions Association (BUKTIA) trainers and 70 Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) personnel—in Bukidnon for the calendar year 2024. Using a descriptive-correlational research design and total enumeration sampling, data were collected through a modified questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson’s r and ANOVA. Findings indicated very high levels of job satisfaction, particularly in the areas of training and capability development (M = 4.55, SD = 0.455), promotion opportunities (M = 4.49, SD = 0.441), tenure security (M = 4.47, SD = 0.450), and coworker relationships (M = 4.43, SD = 0.477). Performance was assessed through the Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF) ratings, with 49.2% of respondents rated “Very Satisfactory” and 50.8% rated “Outstanding.” Significant positive correlations were found between job satisfaction and employee performance, particularly in training and capability development (r = 0.415, p = .000), promotion opportunities (r = 0.378, p = .000), tenure security (r = 0.352, p = .000), and overall job satisfaction (r = 0.523, p = .000). However, ANOVA results revealed that only educational attainment (F = 4.368, p = .0001) significantly influenced performance, while age, sex, marital status, and salary did not. The study concludes that high job satisfaction in key organizational areas contributes significantly to TESDA employees’ and BUKTIA trainers’ work performance. It recommends that TESDA and related agencies sustain professional growth opportunities, equitable recruitment processes, and supportive work environments to maintain highperforming, satisfied employees.
