Financial and Job Security in Relation to Satisfaction of Employees: Basis for Program Implementation

This study determined the relationship between financial and job security and employee satisfaction among 172 regular employees at a private hospital in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental during the year 2025. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized, and data was gathered using a standardized questionnaire. The findings revealed that the demographic profile of the respondents was predominantly female, aged 36–40 years old, single, and college graduates. The respondents perceived a high level of financial and job security and reported a high level of employee satisfaction across all dimensions. A significant difference in financial and job security was identified based on sex, with males perceiving higher security than females. Additionally, a significant difference in work satisfaction was found based on the type of secondary business. A significant relationship was established between financial and job security and employee satisfaction. Consequently, a proposed human resource intervention program was developed to further sustain and enhance employee security and institutional satisfaction levels.
