(2004-03)This correlational study aimed to find out whether organizational climate has a significant relationship on job burnout among nurses in selected private and public hospitals in Iloilo City. A total of 44 respondents participated in the study. Thirty-two (32) nurses came from private hospitals, namely Iloilo Doctor’s Hospital and Iloilo Mission Hospital. While 12 nurses came from West Visayas State University Medical Center, which is a public hospital. The Work Climate Questionnaire by Deci (2000) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory by Maslach (1981) were utilized for data gathering. Generally, results revealed that the higher the nurses perceived autonomy support the lower their degree of burnout in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscales. However, while private and public hospital nurses were satisfied with the autonomy support provided by their supervisors, they still reported a lack of personal accomplishment. The researchers recommend that future research should be done on correlates of personal and organizational factors on nurse burnout.Item Economics of different alternative livelihood projects in Southern Municipalities of IloiloBesana, Nikkei M.; Cang, Marianne S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-03)Poverty incidence in the Philippines is continuously increasing. In line with this the government seeks for opportunities for poverty alleviation. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in cooperation with the University of the Philippines in the Visayas (UPV) offered different alternative livelihood projects in southern municipalities of Iloilo namely: Tigbauan (shrimp paste making), Miag-ao (salt making) and San Joaquin (fish sauce making). The study described the socio- demographic profiles of the beneficiaries of the projects along with the problems encountered during and after the project implementation. The production processes were also described along with the costs of production. Revenues and profit were derived based on the existing price of the product in the market. Private cost was identified from first up to fourth liquidations. Profit was calculated in every livelihood project and accounted to 728.34 Php for shrimp paste making in Tigbauan, 2,205.54 for salt making Php in Miagao and 1,570 Php for fish sauce making in San Joaquin per individual. Payback period derived was 1.07 that means the initial investment will be recovered in no less than a year. Return on investment was 0.93, which implies that for every peso invested, 1.14 Php returns to the investmentItem Navigating the redevelopment dilemma: The impact of Iloilo City central and super market rehabilitation project on ambulant vendors from rural areasBermil, Dannah Veronica M.; Magbanua, Gwyne Winnah B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2024-06)This study examines the marginalization of ambulant vendors in Iloilo City's Super and Central markets during ongoing public-private partnership (PPP)-driven market rehabilitation projects. It explores factors influencing vendors' experiences and perceptions, focusing on the impact of PPP projects and the city government's response to their needs and participation in consultations. Employing a cross-sectional and exploratory approach, it used data from interviews from ambulant vendors and key informants and utilized purposive sampling and thematic analysis. Findings point to challenges encountered during redevelopment, such as sales decline and exclusion from decision-making processes. Ambulant vendors respond by diversifying products, yet they confront negative perceptions and insufficient support. Recommendations include advocating for fair operating conditions and city government assistance to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Drawing upon Urban Politics Theory and Resource Dependency Theory, the study underscores systematic marginalization and emphasizes the necessity of inclusive decision-making mechanisms to empower ambulant vendors within urban governance structures. Recognizing their agency and advocating for their rights can catalyze equitable urban development, benefiting all stakeholders. This research offers valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of urban development and the marginalized role of ambulant vendors, urging policymakers to prioritize their inclusion in future planning initiatives.Item Interest group politics behind the proposed construction of the coal-fired power plant in Banate, IloiloBelgira, Rhoan Louiege B.; Villanueva, Lester G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-03)This study looked into the political dynamics of interest groups behind the proposed construction of the coal-fired power plant in Banate, Iloilo. Specifically, the study looked into how the interest groups define and value the environment, the strategies employed by the interest groups in their campaign, the resources utilized by the interest groups, how the interest groups behave within the alliance and the advocacy results of their campaign. The groups viewed the environment to be the surroundings that include biophysical, biological and other elements. The groups value the environment because of the benefits they can derive from it. The groups had given the same value and respect to the environment before and after the campaign. The strategics employed by the interest groups in articulating their interests with regard to the issue were community organizing, information and education campaign, mass mobilizations, networking and linkaging, tasking, research and analysis, and lobbying. The strategies that the groups employed were also reflective to what were suggested in the literatures. On the building of alliance, qith other interest groups, it is reflective of the trend among interest groups today-that is to build alliance in order to strengthen the campaign in pursuing their respective interests. The resources utilized in the duration of the campaign depended on what was available and demanded by the time. Mobilizable resources came from three major sources: the beneficiary constituency, conscience constituency, and the non-constituency institutions. The resources that were utilized by the interest groups in the campaign were material resources such as human resources, financial resources, information and institutions, and the non-malerial resources such as time, connections, experiences, influence, credibility and authority, and prayers. Interest groups within the alliance had varying levels of participation in the duration of the campaign. Aside from the strategies and resources employed by the interest groups in the campaign, the political environment also played major role in the results of the campaign. The interest groups viewed the up-coming 2004 elections as a big factor that influenced the results of the campaign.Item Self-concept, social support, and subjective well-being of stay-at-home fathers from San Joaquin and Miagao, IloiloBarreto, Ann Margarette; Sina-on, Arianne Krystelle (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)This study on stay-at-home fathers was undertaken due to role reversal brought about by female labor migration. Given that males have taken on relatively new roles as full time parent to their children due to the migration of their wives, changes on their self-concept, the social support that they received, and their levels of subjective well-being were investigated. Ten stay-at-home fathers from the towns of San Joaquin and Miag-ao in southern Iloilo served as participants of this qualitative study. The respondents’ ages range from 27-56 years old. All of the respondents have children, and their wives have been working abroad for not less than a year. The results of this study show that stay-at-home fathers have high levels of subjective well-being as a result of them having positive self-concept and available social support from friends, immediate family members, and relatives. The results of this study can serve as basis in establishing effective programs that will provide support for stay-at-home fathers.Item Emotion work and its relation to job burnout and job satisfaction among call center agents in Iloilo CityBañas, Mechaela E.
