Abstract :
This study examined the influence of
organizational commitment on the job satisfaction among
Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) in Malaybalay City,
Bukidnon, calendar year 2022-2023. A total of 140 BHWs
were selected through a simple random sampling. A
survey questionnaire from Allen and Meyer (1990), and
Taylor and Bowers (1972) were adapted and pilot-tested
obtaining a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.838. Descriptive and
inferential statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean,
standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation,
and simple linear regression were used to treat the data.
Based from the data gathered, the demographic profile of
the respondents revealed that majority of BHWs are aged
between 31 to 35 years, females, high school graduates,
and with a length of service between 11 to 15 years. The
findings further showed that BHWs exhibit a remarkably
very high level of attachment and commitment to their
roles and responsibilities, attributed to their strong
motivation, dedication, and passion to serve the
community's health needs and very high job satisfaction.
In addition, the test of correlation revealed that
organizational commitment of BHWs had significant
positive relationship with job satisfaction, thus the first
null hypothesis was rejected. Meanwhile, the study’s
regression analysis exhibited that continuance had a
significant impact toward job satisfaction. This implied
that they are committed that is why they are satisfied,
apart from the norm that employees are satisfied that is
why they are committed. This fact highlighted that BHWs
feel that they will lose more when they leave their job
than they will gain despite their meager honorarium.
Hence, this research underscores the importance of
fostering and sustaining organizational commitment
among BHWs, as it directly influenced their job
satisfaction and, ultimately, the quality of healthcare
services provided to the community. It is worthy to note
that policymakers and healthcare administrators may
recognize the significance of these factors in supporting
and retaining a dedicated and effective healthcare
workforce at the grassroots level.
