Abstract

Millennials comprise a significant portion of the demography of the current Philippine workforce. Cognizant of the unique socio-cultural environment that shaped the Generation Y cohort, this descriptive phenomenological qualitative study aimed to explore millennial employees' work expectations and experiences within a government agency in the Philippines. Four themes emerged from the in-depth analysis of the five employees' interview responses: (1) job security and financial stability, (2) socio-emotional support, (3) fulfillment, and (4) professional development opportunities. The qualitative findings of this study emphasize the importance of supporting millennial employees' career growth and fostering a healthy work environment. It indicates that millennial employees know their value in government service and recognize that job security substantially impacts their performance. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the work expectations and experiences of millennial employees in a government agency, highlighting the need for institutions to understand and adapt to the unique needs of this generation to foster a productive and engaged workforce.

Abstract

Climate change and human activity have severely degraded watersheds, jeopardizing their sustainability. The willingness of residents to pay for watershed management is essential for developing sustainable environmental protection efforts. This study determined the respondents' willingness to pay (WTP) for the restoration and protection (RP) of the Ulot Watershed of Samar Island Natural Park using a double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation approach. The researchers used the Kish grid method to draw respondents from 150 households. The study revealed that families with an average annual income of approximately $2746.70 were ready to contribute $0.78 per month, or $9.36 annually, to the watershed restoration and protection fund. An annual aggregate WTP of $102,259.74 may be collected from the community. Logistic regression analysis also revealed a positive association between age, level of watershed knowledge, and WTP. These findings provide strong evidence that a publicly supported watershed management program for the Ulot Watershed is feasible for local government units. In conclusion, understanding the willingness to pay of the community is crucial for implementing effective watershed management strategies and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Ulot Watershed.
