Correlates on Job Performance, Job Satisfaction, and Demographics of State University Employees

This survey looked into the significant relationship between employees' job performance and satisfaction levels, and the demographic profile of the employees of Bohol Island State University in Bohol, Philippines. Towards this end, using the descriptive-survey method of research with a quantitative-correlational approach, and the universal sampling technique, it surveyed 345 permanent employees. Specifically, the study identified the respondents' age, sex, educational attainment, and length of service in the institution; the relationship between their demographics and their level of job performance, and the extent of job satisfaction. Findings revealed that the respondents were in their young adulthood stage, dominated by females, experienced employees in the institution, and had high educational credentials. Moreover, they performed well in their duties and were somewhat satisfied with their jobs. Despite the insignificant results of almost all of the null hypotheses tested, the respondents considered their length of service as a contributory factor that would influence their level of job performance and extent of job satisfaction, which implies that the longer their work experience, the better their work performance would be expected from them, and the more satisfied they are with their jobs. It indicates, therefore, that high levels of job satisfaction did not necessarily lead to employee performance. There may be other must-be studied factors that influenced one's job performance and satisfaction.
