Job Satisfaction and Performance of Non - Education Teacher Graduates in the Schools Division of Quezon

This  study aimed to  determine  the  relationship  between  the  job  satisfaction  and  performance  of    non-  education teacher graduates  of selected   public  secondary high schools in  the  Division  of  Quezon. Specifically  it  sought  to determine the  profile  of  the  respondents  in  terms  of age,  sex,  civil  status,  number  of  dependents,  net  take  home  pay,  highest  educational  attainment,  and Performance  based on  the Result-Based Performance Management System  (RPMS). It also  determined the  level  of  job satisfaction  of  the  respondents as  regards  to  job security  , work environment,  job  responsibilities  and  community  linkages. It  also  tried  to  find  out  the  significant  relationship  between  the respondents  level  of  job  satisfaction  and  teachers  performance , the  challenges  being  encountered  by  non-  education  graduate  teachers  and  the coping  mechanism being  done  to  remedy  the challenges  being  encountered  by them. Using  purposive  sampling and quota  sampling  technique, the researcher was  able  to seek the  participation  of  select 112  respondents all  over  the   Division  of  Quezon.  On the  level  of  job  satisfaction  and  performance, weighted  mean  was  used  and  to  find - out  the  significant  relationship  between  job  satisfaction  and  performance  of teachers ,  the  spearman  correlation was  used. Results  of the findings  showed  that  in  terms  of  job  security,  the  respondents  rated  all  indicators   satisfied. In terms  of work  environment,  job  responsibilities,  community  linkages  and  job  security , they  rated  the  indicators  much  satisfied. In terms  of  challenges in  the lack  of  teaching  strategies,  personal  and  attitude self- learning  and  resourcefulness  seeking  help and  openness  and  acceptance,  they rated all  of  them  often  encountered.  The  total  mean  is  equivalent  to  sometimes  encountered. The  result  also  showed that  there was  no  significant  relationship  between  job  satisfaction of  the  respondents  and  their  performance in  the  latest  RPMS  since  the  P- Value  of  all  the  indicators  is  greater  than  the P-Value  of  0.05  level of significance. The overall  hypothesis was  therefore  accepted.
