Abstract
This study examines the relationship between workplace satisfaction and job performance among school-based non-teaching personnel in the Department of Education (DepEd) Division of Valencia City for the 2024–2025 school year. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 80 respondents through a structured survey that focused on five key domains: Work and Workplace, Workplace Environment, Recognition, School Culture, and Compensation and Benefits. The findings reveal that while respondents generally reported a high level of satisfaction—particularly in areas related to interpersonal relationships, recognition, and school culture—there were noted concerns regarding compensation and the distribution of workload. The statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between workplace satisfaction and job performance, with compensation and benefits, as well as workplace conditions, emerging as strong predictors of performance outcomes. The study underscores the importance of enhancing job satisfaction to improve employee performance and organizational efficiency. It recommends that the DepEd Division of Valencia City adopt policy reforms to strengthen salary structures, implement balanced workload systems, expand wellness and recognition programs, and foster a more cohesive school culture. These measures can contribute to a more motivated, productive, and high-performing workforce within educational institutions.
