Abstract

This study aimed to determine the basic psychological need satisfaction and how it affects the work engagement of Andres Bonifacio College, Inc. employees during the school year 2022-2023. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was employed in this study. Using frequency counting and percent, weighted mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman Rank-Order Correlation, data were obtained from 120 employees of Andres Bonifacio College, Inc. The study found that the respondents' perceived level of basic psychological need satisfaction is agreed upon and interpreted as satisfied. Standard deviations less than 3.0 supported a high degree of homogeneity in their responses. Moreover, the study found that the respondents perceived level of work engagement is agreed upon and interpreted as highly engaged. The study found that there existed a significant difference in the perceived level of basic psychological need satisfaction when the respondents were grouped in terms of age, position, and educational attainment, but no significant difference in the perceived level of basic psychological need satisfaction when the respondents are grouped in terms of sex, monthly income and years in service. Furthermore, data analysis also revealed a significant relationship between basic psychological need satisfaction and work engagement. This indicates that the basic psychological need satisfaction was significantly related to employees' work engagement in Andres Bonifacio College, Inc. Hence, management strategy and working environments would be enhanced to boost employee job satisfaction, psychological well-being, and engagement
