Abstract

The study aims to describe the buying behavior of male and female bank personnel and their customer satisfaction. The buying behavior represents three indicators: perceived benefits, domain of specific innovativeness, and shopping orientation. This study utilizes a descriptive correlational approach, which focuses on describing the significant relationship between the two variables: buying behavior and customer satisfaction. The data of the study is collected using a survey questionnaire distributed to 106 participants in each selected bank. The study’s findings reveal that male and female bank personnel have high impulsivity in terms of perceived benefits, domain of specific innovativeness, and shopping orientation, but male bank personnel have low impulsivity in terms of the domain of specific innovativeness. It also indicates that male and female bank personnel are satisfied with purchasing online; positive product reviews attract them, and the thing that male and female bank personnel are unsatisfied with is the use of credit cards to purchase online. Findings indicate a significant relationship between buying behavior and customer satisfaction of male and female but with a low correlation for male and a moderate correlation for female and indicates no significant difference between the buying behavior of male and female bank personnel. Therefore, male and female bank personnel show an interest in and are highly impulsive in purchasing online.

Abstract

This study explores how microloans are helping livestock farmers in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. For many small-scale farmers, traditional banks are out of reach microloans fill that gap by offering accessible financing to support their agricultural activities. These loans have become a valuable tool for rural development, giving farmers a chance to invest in their farms, improve productivity, and increase income. To understand how microloans are used and how effective they are, the study combined survey responses and interviews with local farmers, along with insights from microfinance institutions. It looked into how loans are approved, how they're used, and what challenges farmers face particularly with repayment and access to reliable information. The findings show that microloans have made a real difference. Farmers used the funds to buy healthier livestock, upgrade their facilities, and improve overall farm output. But not everything worked perfectly. Some struggled with strict repayment terms, and others didn’t fully understand how to access or manage these financial tools. The study offers practical recommendations for policymakers, lenders, and farmers. These include introducing more flexible repayment options, improving farmer education about loan programs, and encouraging better coordination between lenders and agricultural support services. This research provides meaningful insights into how microloans can be made more effective. It points the way toward smarter policies and programs that can help small farmers thrive and contribute more fully to sustainable rural development.
