Relationship between Organizational Culture and Perceived Quality of Working Life among Local Government Employees.

This study examined the relationship between the perceived quality of working life and organizational culture among local government employees in Lubao, Pampanga, Philippines. To determine the variables and their relationships, a quantitative approach and descriptive-correlational study design were used. The respondents have been engaged at the local government agency for a minimum of one year. They are classified as either permanent or casual employees. No matter the age or gender of the participant, only 87 permanent workers and 85 casual employees met the requirements and were thus eligible to participate. The findings revealed that there was a high degree of perceived quality of working life among both permanent and temporary workers of the local administration. Job and career satisfaction are two of the psychosocial aspects that both respondents report having a high degree of. On the other hand, they deal with a great deal of stress on the job. The results of this research showed that among permanent workers, there is no correlation between organizational culture and their perceived of the quality of their working lives. On top of that, the organizational culture has a substantial impact on the way casual workers evaluate their quality of life on the job. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
