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

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.

Abstract

Increasing the minimum wage primarily aims to reduce poverty, combat social inequality, boost employee productivity and improve the overall economic condition. This research aimed to understand the impact of minimum wage policy on employee job satisfaction and productivity in the Philippine hospitality sector. Using a quantitative descriptive research approach, the data were gathered from the 43 minimum wage earners performing various roles in a select hotel and resort in the Philippines. These respondents are a subpopulation of the 77 total employees in the company who have experienced the wage increase in September 2024. Using a researcher-structured questionnaire, responses were collected through a combination of face-to-face onsite surveys and Google Forms. Statistical tests such as frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and ANOVA were employed in the data analysis. The findings revealed that the minimum wage increases positively influenced employees’ job satisfaction and productivity with agreement across all areas. While the study confirmed the overall positive impact of the wage increase to the employees, most demographic factors were found not to affect their job satisfaction or productivity levels. Among demographic variables, educational attainment emerged as the only factor significantly influencing job satisfaction. Based on the findings, the researchers proposed a strategy roadmap to enhance the employees’ job satisfaction and productivity. This study can serve as reference for stakeholders in the hospitality sector, including human resource managers of hotels, resorts, and similar establishments who are seeking to improve employee satisfaction and drive overall productivity of the tourism industry.

Abstract

Fish port complexes play a crucial role in the post-harvest fisheries sector, serving as central hubs for landing, processing, and distributing fish products. This study assessed stakeholder satisfaction with service delivery at a fish port complex in the Philippines, focusing on 325 stakeholders (fish brokers, buyers, and ice dealers/ crushers). Employing a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative research designs, data were collected through an adapted questionnaire administered face-to-face with respondents, along with semi-structured interviews to capture in-depth qualitative insights. The quantitative data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the qualitative responses, identifying key themes and recurring patterns within the data. The findings revealed that stakeholders were satisfied with the services delivered at the fish port complex in terms of billing, payment, accreditation and renewal of permits, as well as the issuance of permits to conduct business. Furthermore, perceptions of respondents in the four service areas showed no significant differences across demographic profile, indicating that improvements in these areas would likely benefit all stakeholders. However, challenges including billing and payment issues, bureaucratic delays, slow processing, and complex permit processes have negatively impacted satisfaction of the fish brokers. Based on these findings, the study proposed strategies to enhance the service quality of the fish port complex. These improvements are also deem essential for other fish port complexes aiming to enhance its operational efficiency, build stakeholder trust, and ensure the sustainable development of the fisheries sector.
