Abstract

Nurse productivity is critical to health care efficiency, particularly in resource-limited primary hospitals where operational challenges significantly hinder nurses’ ability to deliver optimal care. This research examined the various productivity challenges faced by nurses in a resource-limited primary hospital in the Philippines and identified potential solutions to improve their current working conditions. A phenomenological approach was used to collect data through in-depth interviews of seven registered nurses at a resource-limited primary hospital. Four themes emerged from the thematic analysis, addressing both the challenges and potential solutions to the issues faced by the nurses. The challenges included high workloads and limited staffing, resource scarcity, emotional and mental strain, and training and knowledge gaps. The themes for the proposed solutions include adequate staffing and support resources, consistent access to essential supplies and equipment, skill development and continuous training, and holistic support for nurse well-being and productivity. Based on these findings, it is imperative to offer systemic changes, such as enhanced staffing models, better resource allocation, and strengthened support systems, for nurses to lessen nurse productivity challenges in resource-limited settings. This study provides valuable insights into the complexities of nursing practice in a primary healthcare setting and serves as a foundation for developing targeted strategies to enhance nurse productivity and improve patient care quality within the Philippine healthcare system. Further, this study can serve as a reference for a more focused evaluation of nurse productivity in a resource-limited hospital setting, offering localized insights and context-specific recommendations.

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

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

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.
