Item Effects of job burnout, emotional labor and workplace relationship on work performance of selected full time fast food service crewsBaello, Mary Antonette P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-05)This study sought to examine the effects of job burnout, emotional labor and workplace relationship on work performance of fast food employees. The respondents were composed of 41 service crews (20 males, 21 females) working on an 8-hour shift from a selected fast food establishment located within Iloilo City. This study is descriptive in nature. A Self-Diagnosis Instrument for Burnout by Pines and Aronson, Emotional Labor Scale by Brotheridge and Lee and Employee Evaluation Form for Food Service Personnel were the scales used throughout the study. Data were analyzed using a simple linear regression. Analysis revealed that job burnout and emotional labor were not predictive of work performance. However, positive work relationships have alleviated degrees of burnout and levels of emotional labor through producing positive work attitudes.Item Realignment of roles, attachment styles in family relationships and reassessment of values of overseas Filipino worker returnees in Tigbauan, IloiloBacero, Mon Ritchie Y.; Benosa, Aaron Alden O. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)The study was conducted to find out the roles and values change and adjustments in the family relationships undergone by an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) returnee during his post-employment. Thirty (30) OFW returnees from chosen Barangays in Tigbauan, Iloilo participated in answering the Traditional Marital Role Questionnaire, Experience in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) Questionnaire, and an interview guide for the assessment of their Filipino Values and Ideals. Results show that most of the traditional marital roles are not exclusive anymore to one spouse, rather done by both. Good relationship based on trust was found among majority of the respondents since they are securely-attached to their families. Positive values change in respect became apparent for some OFWs who alleviated the family’s situation.Item Types and severity of sexual harassment among female college students in a non-traditional degree programBacanto, Jay Ann B.; Quilantang, Ma. Ellaine N. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)This descriptive study aimed to find out the perception of female college students in a non- traditional degree towards the types and severity of sexual harassment. Fifty-four (54) female students, who were officially enrolled in the College of Criminology at the University of Iloilo for school year 2002-2003 during the second semester, participated in the research. Perception on sexual harassment was measured using a revised scale on the Perception of the types and severity of sexual harassment developed by Baker, Terpstra, and Larntz (1990). The scale has six scenarios reflecting the types and severity of sexual harassment, whereas females working in a male- dominated workplaces were being sexually harassed by male co-workers. The mean scores and standard deviations were utilized to interpret the data. The results of the study revealed that incidents having sexual coercion were perceived higher compared to other types of sexual harassment (x=1.17; s=3.66). Types of sexual harassment with an element of physical contact were perceived to be more sexually harassing (x=5.41; s=4.61).It further revealed that sexual harassment with physical contact were perceived most sexually harassing (x=2.43; s= 1.09).Item Performativity and subjectivities: A Foucauldian discourse analysis of Pasaway COVID-19 pandemicAzarcon, Cherie Izzy; Guadaña, Zennia Grace (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-05)This study utilized Foucauldian Discourse Analysis to explore the different constructions of pasaway in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Nine street vendors located around Iloilo City who do not have permanent workspaces were interviewed and their answers served as the text for the analysis. The results showed that their constructions were embedded in five wider discourses: 1) Moral Discourse, 2) Cultural Discourse, 3) Spatial and Temporal Discourse, 4) Economic Discourse, and 5) Power Discourse. Embedded within these five discourses are the different action orientations, positionings, practices, and subjectivities that are informed by the varied constructions of street vendors of the discursive object pasaway in the context of the C0V1D-19 pandemic. The findings also showed that the discourses on the discursive object pasaway are context-specific, performative, and consequential. These are all discussed in relation to social change.Item A comparative study of marital satisfaction, trust and intimacy among wives in long distance and geographically close relationshipsAurecencia, Lory Stel Z.; Lorenzo, Ma. Concepcion A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-03)This study aims to know and compare the marital satisfaction, trust and intimacy of wives in long distance and geographically close relationships. Forty (40) wives of seafarers from Miagao, Iloilo were selected through referral sampling for the long distance relationship and 40 wives from Lapaz, Iloilo City were selected through convenience sampling for the geographically close relationship. Four (4) respondents were interviewed for each type of relationship. Four (4) instruments were utilized namely: Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale, Trust in Close Relationships Scale, Miller Social Intimacy Scale, and an interview guide developed by the researchers. Results showed that the respondents are generally satisfied, trusting, and are intimate with their partners. Wives in long distance and geographically close relationships do not significantly differ in marital satisfaction and trust but significantly differ in intimacy. Furthermore, distance does not significantly affect marital satisfaction and trust but there is a moderately negative correlation between distance and intimacy.Item Self-esteem, coping strategies and views on masculinity among selected househusbands in Jaro, Iloilo CityAsperga, Altheamae V.; EScoto, Mia Frances A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)This is a descriptive study which sought to determine the following: (1) the levels of self-esteem among househusbands, (2) their coping strategies towards problems and stress, (3) and their views on the concept of masculinity. Twenty-eight househusbands with wives working abroad participated in the study. The research utilized the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the COPE Inventory, and a masculinity scale to measure the three variables respectively. The results yielded a high level of self-esteem for these househusbands. For the coping strategies, it was found out that the three most often used coping styles were that of religious, followed by planning, and active coping. The least employed was the substance use coping probably because it is highly associated with being an irresponsible father and husbands. On the other hand, there was no significant difference found between the househusbands’ who had traditional and progressive views on masculinity.Item Work-family conflict, stress, and satisfaction among married female public elementary teachersArsenio, John Clint C.; Supnet, J P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-03)This is a descriptive and correlational study which sought to explore the relationship of work-family conflict, stress and satisfaction among the respondents. Sixty-two (62) married female public elementary teachers participated in the study. Survey questionnaires were given to gather data about the studied variables. Results of the study showed that respondents are generally experiencing high level of work-family conflict and work-related stress but with low level of family-related stress. In general, respondents have positive attitude towards their job, experience less marital distress and have high level of life satisfaction. Relationships between these studied variables were also examinedItem Marital satisfaction, gender equity, and marital conflict among selected elderly couples in Guimbal, IloiloAsorio, Shiela Mae S.; Pradilla, Lea Angela S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)The study was conducted to find out the relationship among marital satisfaction, gender equity, and marital conflict among old married couples, as well as their pattern of conflict resolution. Nineteen (19) elderly couples from Guimbal, Iloilo married for at least 25 years and living with their families at the time of the study participated. The instruments used were the shortened version of the Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999), the Gender Equity on Household Labor Scale, and the Conflict Resolution Questionnaire. Results show that marital satisfaction and marital conflict have a significant negative correlation at -0.460 [a=0.01 level of significance (2-tailed test)]. However, there was no correlation between marital satisfaction and gender equity at -0.214 and gender equity and marital conflict at 0.252 [a=0.01 level of significance (2-tailed test)]. The mean score (19.29) on the shortened version of the Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale by Blum and Mehrabian (1999) indicates that the respondents have a high level of marital satisfaction. There was also a significant gender difference in the distribution of household labor as perceived by the males and the females with to=-16.36 (tc=<-2.042 or >2.042). Lastly, with regards conflict resolution, majority of the respondents use the compromise style. The outcomes of the study support previous studies which state that elderly marriages experience high level of marital satisfaction and less marital conflict.Item The effect of playing violent video games and gender on aggression among first year students in Iloilo National High SchoolBalicanta, Alexander John F.; Cacho, Charlotte J. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2002-03)The study was conducted to determine the effects of playing violent video games and gender on aggression among first-year high school students. The experimental design utilized two treatment groups and two control groups. The four groups consisted of (1) males who played the violent videogame; (2) females who played the violent videogame; (3) males who played the nonviolent videogame; and (4) females who played the nonviolent videogame. In this study, aggression was measured using the Direct and Indirect Aggression Scales (DIAS). The DIAS consists of 24 items that measure physical, verbal, and indirect aggression. Prior to the administration of the DIAS, the participants were first asked to play video games. Two groups were assigned to play a violent video game, and the other two groups played a nonviolent game. The participants’ scores in the DIAS were computed and analyzed using the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with interaction. This is done to show if the variables type of video game played and gender significantly affect aggression among adolescents. The two-way ANOVA with interaction yielded three computed values of F. Results show that there is a significant F-ratio on the variable type of video game played. The obtained F is 5.45, and an F of 4.26 is required at the 0.05 level with 1 and 27 df. Since 5.45 is greater than 4.26, the null hypothesis is rejected. Thus, the conclusion is that the type of video game played has a significant effect on aggression among first-year high school students. However, the F-ratio derived for the variable gender was not significant. The obtained F is 3.59, and an F of 4.26 is required at the 0.05 level with 1 and 27 df. Since the value of F is less than 4.26, the null hypothesis on gender is accepted. Thus, gender has no significant effect on aggression among first-year high school students. The F ratio derived for the interaction of the two variables is also not significant. The computed value of F., which is only 0.297, is less than 4.26. The null hypothesis, thus, is rejected. This leads to the conclusion that the type of videogame played and gender do not interact to affect aggression.Item Personal health assessment, help-seeking behavior and degree of family support on elderlyAsenjo, Pearl Joy L.; Italia, Jonna B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2008-03)The study was conducted to find out the way elderly assess their health, ways of seeking help in their health related problems and degree of family support. Fifty (50) elderly from Brgy. Tiolas, San Joaquin, Iloilo ages 60-80 years old and living with their families at the time of the study participated. The instruments used in measuring the variables were the Health Orientation Scale by William Snell (1996), Help-seeking Behavior Questionnaire, and Degree of Family Support Scale. Results showed that elderly do tend to assess their health with less strict standard. Generally, elderly rate their health status as average. Both formal (seeking the help of professionals) and informal (relying on family members, friends and neighbors) ways of seeking help were found to be the ways elderly used in solving their health-related problems. As previous studies shown that family serves as the primary support system on elderly, respondents in this study indicated that they received more intangible form of support (moral and emotional) from their family members than tangible form (financial).
