    Effects of job burnout, emotional labor and workplace relationship on work performance of selected full time fast food service crews
    Baello, 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.

    Self-esteem, coping strategies and views on masculinity among selected househusbands in Jaro, Iloilo City
    Asperga, 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.

    Personal health assessment, help-seeking behavior and degree of family support on elderly
    Asenjo, 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).
