Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and the performance of the ninety-eight municipal employees in Kitaotao who were randomly chosen for the two semesters of the calendar year 2023. Specifically, the following problems were presented in the study: What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, marital status, monthly salary, educational attainment, and job description? What is the employees' job satisfaction level in terms of capability building or trainings attended, promotion opportunities, security of tenure, hiring process and procedure, healthy working environment, and relationship with co-workers? What is the employees' performance level in the Municipality of Kitaotao? Is there a significant relationship between the employees' job satisfaction level and their performance as municipal employees when grouped according to capability building or trainings attended, promotion opportunities, security of tenure, hiring process and procedure, healthy working environment, and relationship with co-workers? Is there a significant difference in municipal employees' performance when grouped according to age, sex, marital status, monthly salary, educational attainment, and job description? The data gathered were summarized using frequency counts, percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, and Analysis of Variance. This study revealed that majority of the employees were in their fifties, female, married, with average monthly salary, college graduates, and administrative aides. They elicited a satisfactory level of job satisfaction and were very satisfactory in their job performances. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship between their level of job satisfaction and their performance as municipal employees. Also, no significant differences were found in the job performance of the employees when they were grouped according to age, sex, marital status, monthly salary, educational attainment, and job description. This study confirmed that job satisfaction did not affect the performance of the municipal employees. Moreover, the municipal employees were generally satisfied and performed well with their jobs as what is expected of them regardless of age, sex, marital status, monthly salary, educational attainment, and job description.
