Abstract

This study delves into the nuanced relationship between employee motivation and job satisfaction among job order employees within the Local Government Unit of Maramag, Bukidnon. Through a thorough survey approach, the research assesses intrinsic and extrinsic motivators and their impact across various facets of job satisfaction, encompassing the work environment, compensation and benefits, career opportunities, supervision styles, and work-life balance. Surveys were administered to a sample of job order employees to gather comprehensive data, yielding insights into their satisfaction levels and perceptions of their work experiences. Statistical analyses, including analysis of variance (ANOVA), were employed to analyze the strength and significance of the relationship between motivation factors and job satisfaction metrics. The study reveals a robust link (F-value = 694.49, p = 0.000) between motivation and job satisfaction, underscoring the pivotal role of intrinsic motivators such as meaningful work, growth opportunities, and autonomy in shaping employees' overall satisfaction. The findings highlight areas for improvement, particularly in compensation, welfare benefits, and work-life balance, suggesting targeted strategies to enhance employee satisfaction and organizational effectiveness within the municipality.
