Abstract

With the ongoing privatization of government-owned casinos, this imperative decision to improve operations and fair-market competition for the gaming industry comes with workplace challenges that directly affect the tenured employees of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). Based on these, the quantitative-descriptive study concentrated on examining the motivation to stay, job satisfaction, and workplace challenges of the rank-and-file employees across Luzon, who were selected through stratified random sampling. The data was collected using a structured survey, which was designed to measure the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, job satisfaction, as well as challenges (job security, career advancement, and working conditions) of the employees. Through the utilization of the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test, the significant differences of participants demographically amongst the mentioned variables are determined. Moreover, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to identify significant relationships between motivation to stay, job satisfaction, and employee challenges. Results revealed significant differences in workplace challenges and job satisfaction amidst the privatization. Furthermore, perceived job security and both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were found to have been key predictors of employees’ motivation to stay. The findings suggest that transparent communication regarding retirement transition packages, job role recalibration, and enhanced performance appraisal, as well as compensation frameworks that consider the employees’ age, tenure, position, and job grade, are the most critical levers for maintaining workforce stability, motivation, and retention. These insights could guide PAGCOR and policymakers in formulating employee-centered strategies that mitigate the adverse effects of organizational change and sustain employee engagement.

Abstract

The study aimed to explore and quantify the push-pull factors that contributed to the tourists' choice of travel destinations in Bataan Province, Philippines as a form of revenge travel, utilizing the descriptive-quantitative research method.  A total of 400 local and domestic tourists aged 18 to 65 who visited and stayed in any of the five (5) municipalities—Balanga, Pilar, Bagac, Mariveles, and Morong—in Bataan Province served as respondents. The study revealed that push factors influencing travel to Bataan Province included novelty seeking, ego enhancement, and the desire for rest and relaxation, as respondents were motivated by new experiences, family bonding, and personal enjoyment. Pull factors likewise played a crucial role, with environment and safety, as well as cultural and historical attractions, being highly prioritized by respondents. The affordability and quality of tourism facilities further enhanced the satisfaction of their travel needs. In general, the study revealed that push and pull factors were both significant in helping respondents in choosing their travel destination in Bataan Province. Additionally, the results revealed that there was a significant difference in the influence of push and pull factors when the demographic profile of the respondents was considered. Based on the study’s findings, to enhance Bataan’s cultural tourism appeal, stakeholders should develop diversified cultural programs that highlight the province’s heritage and ecology, prioritize sustainability and community collaboration, and deliver high-quality, data-driven tourism experiences aligned with tourists’ diverse motivations.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the implementation of the Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMBE) Law and its impacts and challenges as perceived by the business owners in the City of Malabon, Philippines, and proposed policy recommendations. The BMBE Law was enacted to promote the growth of microenterprises and stimulate local economic development in underserved communities. A descriptive-quantitative research design was employed to assess the law's impact on income generation, local competitiveness, and poverty alleviation of various business sectors. The results indicated that respondents generally perceived a very high level of BMBE Law implementation. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in local competitiveness when businesses were grouped by years in operation, whereas no significant differences were observed in income generation and poverty alleviation. Early-stage enterprises, operating for less than five years, reported a higher perceived economic contribution in terms of local competitiveness compared with longer-established firms. The findings of this study underscored the need for ongoing monitoring and support for microenterprises to optimize the benefits of the BMBE Law. The study highlighted the importance of tailored, sector-specific interventions that address the diverse experiences of microenterprises. Overall, the results provided valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to strengthen the implementation and effectiveness of the BMBE Law, thereby advancing sustainable economic growth in the City of Malabon, Philippines.
