    Organizational climate and levels of job burnout among nurses in selected private and public hospitals in Iloilo City
    Bragancia, Imee Grace E.; Vergara, Catherine Joy C. (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.

    Self-concept, social support, and subjective well-being of stay-at-home fathers from San Joaquin and Miagao, Iloilo
    Barreto, 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.

    Bañas, Mechaela E. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-04)
    The current study aimed to describe the level of emotion work among call center agents in Iloilo city including the differences in their levels of emotion work between sex groups and types of call center work. It also attempted to show the relationship of emotion work to job burnout and job satisfaction. The design of the study was descriptive-correlational. Analyses were based on a sample of thirty available male and female (30) inbound and outbound call center agents from selected call centers in Iloilo city. Three data gathering instruments were used in this study, namely: Emotional Labour Scale (ELS), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). Statistical tools employed in the study were means for descriptive analysis, Mann - Whitney U for tests of difference and Spearman’s rho for correlations. Level of significance was set at 0.05 for both tests. The findings revealed that call center agents occasionally have intense experience of emotion work, whereas they sometimes experience a variety of emotion work. Moreover, they used deep acting regulation of emotion more compared to surface acting . Emotion work is correlated with job satisfaction while no relationship was found between emotion work and job burnout. Significant differences in the levels of emotion work existed both for groups based on sex and type of work.

    The relationship between the attitude towards women and the evaluation of sexism in liquor advertisements on television
    Azarcon, Criselda Jeremias (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1993-06)
    This study is on the relationship between the individual's attitude towards women and his/her evaluation of sexism in Tanduay advertisements on television. Using two sets of questionnaires, the study also investigated the relationship between each of these two variables on one hand, and gender, age, and religious affiliation, on the other. Attitude towards women is defined as the level of feminist attitude of an individual. Evaluation of sexism is defined as the individual's rating of sexist manifestations in television liquor advertisements. Sexism is the sexual discrimination against women by people. It is any distinction, exclusion or restriction made against women which has the purpose or effect of denying equal exercise of human rights and fundamental freedom in all fields of human endeavor. A manifestation of this is the sexual degradation of women which is the focus of this study. It is manifested by associating women with sex, or showing women as sex figures, such as showing them as sex partners or in sex-provoking images. The respondents were freshmen dormitory residents at UPV Residence Halls, Miag-ao. An accidental sampling was used to identify the sample population of 30. Using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation the result showed that there is no relationship between attitude towards women and evaluation of sexism in Tanduay advertisement on television. Using the chi square test of independence, it was found that only five out of twenty-one items in the attitude towards women test showed significant differences in the answers of the female and male respondents, four out of twenty-one items showed significant differences in the answers of the religious groups, and one out of twenty-one items showed a significant difference in the answers of the three age groups. Thus, based on the results, attitude towards women does not affect the level of an individual's awareness on how women are sexually degraded in Tanduay advertisement on television.

    Drivers' helping behavior towards pedestrians: The role of awareness, responsibility, and personal norms
    Alvero, Twinkle B.; Matondo, Jirah P. (Division of BSocial Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
    The effects of individual's norms, consequences and responsibilities on helping behavior were tested using the Norm Activation Theory. A 2x2x2 within—subjects design utilizing the scenario based approach developed by Naumann (2004) was participated by twenty-five (n=25) company drivers, and the scores obtained were measured using Helping Attitude Scale (Nickell, 1998). Interviews were conducted to further understand and explain key information about participants. Results showed that positive personal norms and higher recognition of responsibility affected helping behavior but not awareness of consequences. However, no interaction effect was observed. Therefore, the study lends partial support to the theory. Implication points that companies and LTO must incorporate and promote personal norm enhancement and recognition of responsibility within their team building programs and trainings.
