Abstract/Summary
This study focuses on the sari sari store owners of Barangay 76-A of Davao City, Philippines, and how their decision-making process to register their store is influenced by certain benefits and costs to registration. Furthermore, the study creates a distinction among survival-driven owners and growth-driven owners among the store owners. In distinguishing the different motivations of each owner, the study tests how these two groups are influenced by certain benefits such as SSS, Phil Health, and direct supply of goods. The study also tests how each group is influenced by the direct and indirect costs of registration. Lastly, the study tests whether registration is related to perception of performance of the sari sari store by its owner. This study, therefore, is relevant in determining the factors behind the reason for informality, or the lack of registration despite the existing laws that provide incentives to registration. By investigating the reasons behind informality, a door opens to provide a solution to the address the ineffective efforts of formalization within the Philippine laws. This study, therefore, starts to pave a way to transition the informal economy to the formal economy. To test the relationship between formalization and certain future benefits and costs to registration efforts, a biserial correlation test was conducted using the results obtained through survey questions. Additionally, to test the adequacy of the existing
laws in providing benefits to registered owners and the effectiveness in inducing registration among sari sari store owners, the Contextual Interaction Theory. The Contextual Interaction Theory tests the process and interaction among two actors involved in the implementation of the laws: the implementer and the target group. This study looks into the current state of interaction process among the Go Negosyo Center implementers and the sari sari store owners of Barangay 76-A through an interview and analysis of the scoring and points obtained for each question with regard to certain aspects of motivation, information and power.
