Employees Level of Motivation And Job Satisfaction: Its Relationship To Their Performance

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the level of motivation and job satisfaction and their relationship to performance in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (DENR-CENRO). A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized to analyze employees' profiles, work environments, and levels of motivation and job satisfaction in relation to their performance. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire as the main instrument. The findings reveal that respondents expressed satisfaction with the nature of their work in their current roles. Additionally, employees consistently demonstrated high levels of motivation concerning performance assessments, indicating that they were performing their duties effectively. Respondents also reported being consistently motivated by the benefits and incentives provided, which corresponded to a high level of job satisfaction in these areas. The results suggest that employees are satisfied with the overall benefits and incentives offered by the organization. A significant difference in motivation levels was observed when employees were grouped by job designation. Employees' levels of motivation appeared to vary depending on their job titles or positions within the organization, highlighting the potential influence of designation on motivational factors. Similarly, significant differences were found in job satisfaction levels when employees were grouped by profile, further emphasizing the role of job designations in influencing satisfaction. These findings indicate that organizational practices, such as tailoring benefits and incentives and understanding variations in motivation across different roles, can significantly impact employee performance and satisfaction. The study underscores the importance of addressing the diverse needs of employees to foster motivation and enhance organizational success.
