Lywylyn Santamarina Mendoza, Gloria P. Gempes

Abstract

The study was conducted with the following objectives: to identify the level of cultural value orientation, organizational commitment, personality dimension, and Quality of Work Life (QWL); to determine the significant relationship between the exogenous cultural value orientation, organizational commitment, and personality dimension to the endogenous QWL; to determine the influence of the exogenous variables towards the endogenous QWL, and to recognize the best fit model that predicts QWL. A quantitative research design was employed in this study, specifically the causal-comparative. The study was conducted in the Davao Region, which was participated by 412 respondents. Primary data was utilized in gathering information. The survey questionnaire utilized in the study were sourced from various related researches. The data gathered was subjected to analysis and interpretation using the fundamental statistical tools, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, multiple regression, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Findings of the study revealed that QWL, cultural value orientation, organizational commitment, and personality dimension are high, which means that the respondents often observe it. Cultural value orientation, organizational commitment, and personality dimension have a significant relationship to QWL. Moreover, overall regression results show that cultural value orientation, organizational commitment, and personality dimension significantly influence QWL. Furthermore, the best fit model predicts the QWL of food chain employees in Region Xl. This study may be utilized by food chain companies, specifically the human resource department, to instigate programs and activities that will boost the desire of employees to stay in the organization.
