Perceived Organizational Support on the Individual Work Performance of Nurses in Maasin City

This study aimed to determine the relationship between perceived organizational support and individual work performance among nurses in Maasin City. Specifically, it identified the profile of the respondents, determined the levels of perceived organizational support and individual work performance, and examined the significant relationships among the variables. The study utilized a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design. Consecutive sampling was employed for two months, yielding 83 nurse respondents from public and private healthcare institutions in Maasin City. Data were gathered using the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS) and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ).
