Organizational Culture and Job Satisfaction among Academic and Non-Academic Personnel of Selected Universities and Colleges of Cordillera Administrative Region

Abstract

This research examined the prevailing organizational culture in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) of the two Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as viewed by their faculty members and non-teaching employees. The research included the measurement of their level of job satisfaction. As the main instrument for extracting data from the respondents, two sets of questionnaires were used. To compare the two groups of respondents' views, the Chi-Square Significance Test and Mann-Whitney were used. In the data analyses, results showed that the dominant organizational culture in the two higher education institutions in CAR is Individual. The results also show that there are different levels of job satisfaction for the two groups of respondents. Although academic workers were pleased, non-academic staff were very satisfied. However, the gap in the degree of work satisfaction is not significant between the two classes. The study then advises that each institution's administrator should regularly check the policy/administration/fringe benefits and the likelihood of job growth to make the academic staff happier, leading to the academic and non-academic staff performing effectively.
