Abstract

The importance of training and development in today's competitive corporate environment is widely recognized as a necessary investment in human capital, as it is believed to enhance employee performance, increase engagement, and promote organizational agility. This study evaluated the perceived benefits of training and development in a primary cooperative in the Philippines. This study employed a descriptive-quantitative research design to assess the perceptions of 113 employees regarding the benefits of training and development, using an adopted survey questionnaire prepared in Google Forms. The distribution of questionnaires to the target respondents was conducted via electronic mail and Messenger. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and ANOVA. The study confirmed that the cooperative's employees are predominantly young, with a slightly higher proportion of male employees, and a workforce primarily composed of rank-and-file staff who are just starting their careers at the cooperative. Regarding the benefits of training and development, employees perceived its positive impact across all dimensions, which include goal achievement, collaboration and communication, level of quality and efficiency, and personal and professional attributes. Moreover, the study revealed that there are no significant differences in the perceived benefits of training and development when employees are grouped according to their profile. Finally, the researchers proposed strategies to enhance further the perceived benefits of training and development in the primary cooperative subject. This study can serve as a valuable reference for human resource managers in designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating training and development programs provided to employees.

Abstract

Job satisfaction is a key area of interest for competitive organizations, as it significantly influences the retention of skilled and committed employees. This study aimed to investigate the level of job satisfaction among employees, employee retention rates, and the relationship between job satisfaction and employee retention. Additionally, it sought to identify programs and benefits that could enhance job satisfaction and retention rates. This descriptive-correlation research used a researcher-structured questionnaire distributed to 70 full-time employees of the subject government agency in the Philippines. Statistical tests, including frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and Spearman's rank correlation test were employed in the data analysis. Findings revealed that employees are satisfied with their jobs, especially when it comes to compensation, job content, promotion, supervision, and relationships with colleagues. Additionally, the study emphasized that employees are more likely to remain in the organization. Moreover, the study concluded that the level of job satisfaction exhibits a positive and strong correlation with employee retention. The study also revealed that healthcare benefits are considered a major contributor to employees’ retention among the programs and benefits that an organization can provide. Finally, this study can serve as a model for other government agencies to enhance job satisfaction and productivity among employees, thereby contributing to long-term employee retention, that benefits both employees and the organization.

Abstract

Ensuring food safety in fish port complexes is vital for public health and the sustainability of the Philippine seafood industry. Anchored in Stakeholder Theory, this study investigated food safety policy implementation in a premier Philippine fish port by evaluating how the alignment of diverse interests determines success. Using a descriptive-comparative and correlational design, the researchers surveyed 383 respondents, including employees, brokers, and buyers. Data were analyzed using frequency and percentage, weighted mean, median, interquartile range, Kruskal-Wallis H, and Spearman’s rank-order correlation. Results revealed a demographic dominated by experienced brokers and daily fish buyers. While storage and handling were perceived as highly implemented, sanitation received the lowest ratings. A significant perceptual gap exists, with internal stakeholders rating hygiene more favorably than external buyers. Although a moderate positive correlation confirmed that active enforcement drives compliance, stakeholders identified high supply costs, infrastructure deficits (specifically clean water access), and peak workloads as primary barriers. To bridge the gap between policy and practice, the study proposes a strategic roadmap focusing on infrastructure retrofitting, digital traceability, and participatory governance through a Food Safety Council. Theoretically, this research advances Stakeholder Theory by demonstrating that alignment is a measurable indicator of policy efficacy. Practically, it provides port authorities with a localized framework to move beyond performative compliance toward a sustainable, high-integrity seafood supply chain.

Abstract

Supply chain management (SCM) is vital for an organization’s sustainability objectives. This study assesses the SCM practices of a Philippine food manufacturing company, evaluates its organizational sustainability, and examines the relationship between the two. This descriptive-quantitative research used a researcher-structured questionnaire to gather insights from 134 randomly selected employees involved in SCM tasks across various departments of the subject food manufacturing company. The data gathered from the respondents were analyzed using weighted mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, and Pearson correlation coefficient analysis. The findings revealed that the company is demonstrating strong performance in all SCM dimensions covered in this study, while the company also showed excellent organizational sustainability in terms of economic, environmental, and social dimensions. The study also found a high significant positive correlation between SCM practices and organizational sustainability, indicating that the excellent performance of a company’s SCM practices directly contributed to enhancing its sustainability outcomes. Based on these findings, several opportunities were identified to further optimize SCM practices and bolster sustainability efforts of the company. This study can offer valuable insights for industry stakeholders to continuously improve their SCM practices in order to drive sustainable operations in the food manufacturing sector.
