Abstract

The study determined the demographic profile, employee engagement, and job performance of Saint Francis Xavier College of Agusan del Sur employees in three areas of operations for employee engagement and four areas of operations for job performance, using a descriptive-correlation approach. The survey was administered to 36 non-teaching and 64 teaching professionals for the 2020-2021 academic year. Overall, both teaching and non-teaching respondents agreed with 2.70 mean values, demonstrating that respondents are involved in terms of reward and recognition, as well as perceived supervisor support, but not in terms of turn-over intention, which requires intervention. On the other hand, significant difference between the variables on the level of employee engagement as perceived by the two groups of respondents, the computed t and p-Value accept the null hypothesis, which means that the difference is not significant. The results indicate that non-teaching employees are unsatisfied with their pay, with a mean score of 2.86 indicating disagreement. As per the significant relationships between the variables as perceived by the teaching respondents, educational attainment and employment status were found to be "significant," while all other variables were "not significant."
