Abstract

This study examines the levels of job satisfaction among faculty members in the College of Engineering and Computer Technology (CECT) at Wesleyan University-Philippines, using Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory as a guiding framework. The aim is to identify the primary determinants that affect teacher satisfaction and comprehend how these aspects influence job performance and dedication to the organization. The study utilizes a descriptive-evaluative design incorporating a quantitative approach to accomplish this. Comprehensive surveys were issued to all faculty members to collect data, which was then evaluated using statistical techniques such as SPSS. The findings emphasize the substantial influence of compensation, career advancement prospects, and administrative regulations on faculty satisfaction levels. One significant discovery is the robust positive association between employment duration and wage, suggesting that those with longer tenure generally receive more substantial compensation. This observation highlights the significance of motivators and hygienic elements in promoting job satisfaction and overall organizational well-being. The study suggests improving wage structures, career progression chances, and working circumstances to address the gaps in satisfaction. This will help retain faculty members and increase productivity.
