    A correlational study on the self-evaluation of job performance and job satisfaction among CAS-UPV teachers
    Cabardo, Liberty Rose A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1997-04)
    The purpose of this study was to determine the job performance and job satisfaction of CAS-UPV teachers, and to examine the relationship between performance and satisfaction. Specifically, three elements were included in this study: (1) the self-evaluation of job performance among CAS-UPV teachers by division, educational attainment and years of teaching experience; (2) the self-reported job satisfaction among CAS- UPV teachers; and (3) the relationship between job performance and job satisfaction. A non-experimental correlation research design was used in this study. The population of the study consisted of all College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) teachers of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas (UPV), Miagao campus, Iloilo. Out of the 107 possible respondents, 74 respondents returned their questionnaire which had three parts: the PERSONAL INVENTORY PROFILE, the SELFEVALUATION QUESTIONNAIRE ON JOB PERFORMANCE, and the JOB SATISFACTION SCALE. Using the one-way ANOVA, it was found that: (1) there was no significant difference in the self-evaluation of job performance when the CAS-UPV teachers were grouped according to division and educational attainment; (2) there was no significant difference in job satisfaction when the CAS-UPV teachers were grouped according to their respective division; (3) there was a significant difference in the self-evaluation of job performance when the CAS-UPV teachers were grouped according to years of teaching experience; (4) there was a significant difference on job satisfaction when the CAS-UPV teachers were grouped according to educational attainment and years of teaching experience; and (5) there was a significant relationship between job performance and job satisfaction.

    The economic cost of motorcycle accidents in Iloilo City
    Brodit, Vyel Marie C.; Maghopoy, John Martin F. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-06)
    The increasing number of motorcycle accidents in the Philippines is a serious concern. Every accident involves costs, especially among the people involved. Using the Human Capital Approach, this study estimated the cost of motorcycle accidents in Iloilo City, focusing on the cost incurred by those involved in the accident, including the motorist, the passenger of the motorist, the driver of the other vehicle, and the pedestrian. Costs were also estimated according to the severity of the injury. Cost data were collected from 101 study participants who were involved in 92 separate motorcycle accidents in Iloilo City in 2015. The costs estimated include medical costs, productivity loss, property damages, accident settlement, other costs, and pain and suffering. Results show that the total cost of the motorcycle accident was P82,507,768.25 or P26,377.16 per accident victim. The motorists incurred the largest cost at P36,897.51 per victim and the passengers incurred the least cost at P 6,910.93 per victim. The medical expenses comprised 46 percent of the total cost, highlighting how motorcycle accidents pose a grave threat to health and to the household economy. Seriously injured victims incurred P170,594.98 per accident, while victims with minor injuries incurred P 9,002.29 per accident. The study recommends for: 1) strict enforcement of road safety and traffic rules and regulation; 2) identification of areas where motorcycle accidents are common and studying the physical layout of the area that could have contributed to the accidents; 3) studying the factors contributing to motorcycle accidents; 4) including the cost of motorcycle accidents on society in future similar studies; and 5) the estimation of the optimal number of motorcycles on the road, which could guide traffic program design.
