Abstract

This study investigated the entrepreneurship practices (EPs) of higher education institutions (HEIs) in Region IV-A, Philippines. This descriptive-quantitative research used an adapted questionnaire which was based on the HEInnovate framework for entrepreneurial universities covering the eight dimensions. The data were gathered from 137 business educators who were affiliated with HEIs located in the five provinces of Region IV-A. Findings revealed that HEIs in the region are in their transformative stage of becoming entrepreneurial universities subject to improvements in five HEInnovate framework dimensions for entrepreneurial universities. Moreover, the study also proved that profile indicators utilized in the study are not factors for the variation of EPs among the subject-HEIs. The roadmap strategy proposed by the researchers is recommended to serve as a guide for the subject-HEIs in drawing up their plans and programs in their journey to become entrepreneurial universities.

Abstract

The workplace environment is not spared by how consumerism culture (CC) influences the transformation of individual lifestyles and aspirations. This study investigated the impact of CC on the employees’ work effectiveness of the subject national government agency (NGA) in the Philippines. This descriptive-quantitative research used a structured questionnaire to cover the impact of CC on the four dimensions of work effectiveness: work attitude, individual well-being, environmental sustainability, and social connections of employees within the organization. The data were gathered from 109 employees of the subject NGA. The study found that among the dimensions of work effectiveness, only environmental sustainability appeared to be affected by CC. Moreover, the study conducted within the context of the subject NGA revealed that there is no statistically significant relationship between CC in terms of employees’ shopping frequency and their perceptions of product or service brand reputation, and the four key dimensions of work effectiveness. This finding indicates that CC, as represented by these variables, does not significantly impact the critical aspects of employees’ work effectiveness within the organization. This study can serve as baseline information for developing a comprehensive employee development program for enhancing work effectiveness and fostering a healthier workplace culture among the prevailing consumerism trends in society.

Abstract

Work-life balance (WLB) is crucial for employee well-being and career satisfaction, particularly among government employees. This study examined the relationship between WLB and career contentment within the Philippine Local Government Unit (LGU), assessed the levels of both factors, explored their interaction, and recommended strategies to enhance WLB. Using a quantitative-descriptive research method, data were collected from 133 employees from a Philippine LGU through an adapted questionnaire formatted in Google Forms and distributed via electronic mail and Messenger. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, and linear regression. Findings revealed that the WLB level among Philippine LGU employees is high. Moreover, the study also showed that LGU employees are generally contented with their careers. However, the findings also suggest no significant relationship between the two variables, where improvements in WLB may not always align with increased career contentment, although job satisfaction and performance are presumably enhanced. The road map strategy proposed by the researchers is recommended as a guide to improve WLB, thereby enhancing employee satisfaction and LGU employee performance. The study findings are significant because they shed light on the intricate relationship between WLB and career contentment within a specific context, thus offering valuable insights for Filipino LGUs. Thus, this study can serve as a reference for public sector organizations that prioritize the well-being of their employees and seek to further improve the workplace environment for more engaging and productive employees.

Abstract

The impact of nano-entrepreneurship on work-life balance differs based on the demands of the dual roles of employees in their entrepreneurship and office employment activities. This study assessed nano-entrepreneurship engagement and employees’ work-life balance in a Local Government Unit (LGU) in the Philippines. The study employed a descriptive-quantitative research design using a researcher-structured questionnaire to collect data from 110 nano-entrepreneurship employees of the subject LGU. Data analyses included frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and regression analyses. This study provides empirical evidence that nano-entrepreneurship engagement of employees in the subject LGU is adequate and manageable in terms of balancing work, personal, and professional activities. Moreover, the work-life balance of nano-entrepreneur employees considering the duality of their roles was found to be acceptable and satisfying; however, it has no significant relationship with nano-entrepreneur engagement. The study also disclosed that although employees believe in the advantages of nano-entrepreneurship, they face certain challenges that may not allow them to pursue such opportunities efficiently. Finally, strategies fostering a supportive culture that encourages psychological safety and autonomy were proposed by the researchers to enhance the well-being and productivity of nano-entrepreneur employees while balancing government responsibilities with their entrepreneurial ventures. This study is essential for an organization, whether public or private, in fostering a supportive culture that enhances employees’ financial stability, job satisfaction, and work-life balance through entrepreneurship.

Abstract

Food parks have been on the rise for several years, offering small business owners an opportunity to cater to consumers’ diverse food preferences. This study assessed food stall operations practices in a province-based food park in the Philippines. Using a quantitative-descriptive research design, the study examined the operational practices and challenges of 76 food stall businesses located in the subject food park. A self-structured questionnaire in Google Forms was distributed online to the respondents via a group chat set up by the food park operator. Data analysis included frequency distribution, percentage, weighted mean, and multiple regression. Findings revealed that food stall operators effectively practiced strategies in operation management and revenue generation, customer engagement and regulatory compliance, while financial planning and sustainability, and competitive market positioning were areas that needed improvement. Moreover, respondents experienced moderate operational challenges, highlighting the need for effective strategies to address such challenges. Additionally, a strong correlation between location and mobility and operational challenges in terms of regulatory compliance was revealed, underscoring the importance of strategic location in reducing operational barriers for the survival of food stall businesses. However, other food stall operations practices were not significantly related to operational challenges. In light of these findings, the study proposed strategies to boost profitability, operational efficiency, and resilience in food stall businesses, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning and best practices for the success and development of the food park industry.

Abstract

Well-being of employees is important in order to provide prompt and committed production of high-quality products and services in manufacturing industries. This study investigated the relationship between balanced scorecard (BSC) implementation and employee well-being (EWB) in a manufacturing company in Vietnam. Recognizing the importance of both BSC as a strategic tool and EWB as a driver of organizational success, the researchers aimed to address the limited research directly evaluating the impact of BSC implementation on the wide range of EWB dimensions. Using a quantitative-descriptive research method, data were collected from 350 employees from a manufacturing company in Vietnam through a self-structured questionnaire formatted in HMIS scientific survey software form and distributed via electronic mail and messenger. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and simple linear regression. The findings revealed a high level of BSC implementation and a correspondingly high level of EWB within the studied company. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between all dimensions of BSC and the key dimensions of EWB. The study concluded that BSC implementation positively influences EWB by providing a clearer understanding of organizational strategy, increasing employees' sense of purpose, and aligning individual efforts with strategic goals. The study also proposed guidelines for BSC implementation to further enhance EWB. The study offers managers useful, evidence-based recommendation on how the use BSC can improve and maintain EWB for mutual gain of both the organization and employees.

Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has evolved into a strategic framework for institutional development that integrates ethical practices, social welfare, and environmental stewardship across various sectors, including education. This study evaluated the impact of CSR dimensions – namely awareness, implementation, community impact, environmental accountability, and institutional commitment – on job satisfaction's facets including work environment, compensation and benefits, career growth and development, employee engagement, and tenure, focusing on 151 teaching personnel in a private educational institution (PEI) in the Philippines. Employing a descriptive-quantitative design, data were collected through a validated questionnaire distributed via Google Forms and in person, and analysed using frequency distributions, percentages, weighted means, and Pearson correlation coefficients (r). The findings revealed that the institution's CSR implementation is well-executed, implying that CSR practices are deeply embedded in the institution's culture. Furthermore, the study revealed that teaching personnel are delighted across all dimensions of job satisfaction, which highlights that the institution successfully fosters a work environment conducive to faculty loyalty, professional fulfilment, and emotional commitment. Consequently, the Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) revealed that CSR implementation is strongly and significantly related to job satisfaction. This finding suggests that authentic CSR practices not only enhance external reputation but also play a crucial role in faculty motivation, engagement, and retention. Theoretically, the study reinforces Stakeholder's Theory, affirming that internal stakeholders must be central in designing and implementing CSR initiatives to achieve sustainable institutional growth.
