Abstract/Summary

Employment has become a major concern for Filipino workers engaged in elementary occupations. The drastic price increases in goods and services have contributed to the deteriorating living quality of an average Filipino worker. Decent living has become unreachable for minimum wage earners, and in order to provide for the family, workers take several jobs, render excessive hours, or go to a foreign land, leading them into precarious working conditions. Consequently, business owners pushed down wage expenses in order to maximize profits. The purpose of the study is to investigate the different factors affecting the turnover and/or retention intentions of subcontracted janitorial and security workers assigned in Insular Life. People under subcontracting kind of working arrangements are usually low-paid, low-skilled, routine-workers, and have inadequacy to self-organize to uphold their rights. This research uses factors from the Theory of Planned Behavior’s concept of intention affecting the behavior or worker, specifically. The researcher used Job Satisfaction factors under Principal and Agency to extend the framework. The researcher used Simple Random Sampling to give an equal chance for the target respondents. The results showed that work benefits, rewards, and recognition given by the agency and principal, and the support given to the workers have significant effects on the job satisfaction of subcontracted workers. The researcher used Goodman and Kruskal's Lambda and Logistic Regression analysis in order to make sense of the data.
