ABSTRACT
and avoid stress, which can negatively impact job performance. Several aspects of the
working environment have a role in job satisfaction and employee performance. Therefore,
the aim of this study is to identify the relationship between a productive workplace
environment and employee performance. Holy Cross College was chosen for this study due to
its accessibility and feasibility. The target population was found to be 108; through Slovin’s
formula sample size was found to be 104, which were the respondents of the study and will
be tested,with a confidence level of 98%, while the remaining 2% was considered as error. To
collect data, a structured quantitative questionnaire was adapted from the prior research with
references.To test the data, each of the questions was separately first analyzed and
interpreted, and to see the contribution of each variable and contribution to the employee
performance of Holy cross college teaching staff under the college department. The factors
which were selected for measuring the work environment were employee benefits, supervisor
support, training and development, Good Relations with co-workers, adequate workload,
salaries, physical work environment, and Psychosocial. The results show all the variables had
a significant and positive relationship with employee performance. The most dominating
variable out of all was employee training and development as considered by the teaching
employees under the college department of Holy Cross College, which affect their work
performance.

CHAPTER I
The environment means surroundings, and all those things that impact human beings
during their lifetimes are known as the environment. The environment, which includes both
the physical and non-physical things around a person, has an effect on them. The literal
meaning of "work environment" is the surroundings in which people work to achieve the
organization's goals. It can also be thought of as the systems, conditions, and situations in
which work is done. The working environment is said to have a huge impact on employees'
Workplaces that are not productive induce distress in employees who want to perform well.
In a typical work environment, the physical and behavioral components are essential and can
unsafe and unhealthy. These includes poorly designed workstations, unsuitable furniture, lack
encourage employee safety, development, and goal achievement. Several factors affect
employee performance, such as lack of training and development processes, workload, and
relationships.

factors such as working conditions, motivation level, and support. So, that the main
objective of work for an individual is not only getting paid but also to feel self
satisfied and comfortable under the working conditions they face everyday. The
Harter et al. (2019) primarily addressed how the working environment relates to and
affects employee performance in various areas. The employee's motivation and subsequent
performance are influenced by the quality of their work environment. In addition, the
majority of employees leave their jobs due to their relationship with their supervisor or
manager. So far, the gap identified by the analyses is that management must take an active
role not only in defining the physical environment of the workplace and making it suitable for
workers but also in changing the management style toward the employees. This refers to
influencing workers to improve their performance in areas like behavior, ethics, commitment,
recognition has been identified as a main tool to maximize on the employee performance.

work engagement was significantly correlated with employee age, position, and monthly
Based on the study of Angelo (2021) he examined job satisfaction and employee
engagement in organizations, which have received a lot of attention from researchers all over
the world. Most people have some level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their jobs,
which varies from one to the next. The institution's reward systems included strengthening
orientation roles and programs for newly hired employees, creating a balance between work
and life, matching employees with the right job and qualifications, creating a good working
environment, fostering and strengthening teamwork at work, and speeding up the hiring and
selection process. Employees left the company because they didn't feel appreciated by
management, they couldn't move up in their careers, they were paid unfairly, they had too
many tasks and responsibilities, and they didn't have enough training and development
opportunities
According to Arun (2019) workers who feel satisfied in their jobs are more likely to
be competent, and productive workers are more likely to be happy in their jobs.

Administrators can meet the dynamic and ever-increasing challenges of maintaining business
sector efficiency by keeping their workforce satisfied. Job satisfaction is one of the most
difficult issues that modern management faces when it comes to monitoring and controlling
their employees. Pay rates, interrelationships between worker and employer, as well as
executive and personnel functions, basic social assistance amenities, superior social behavior,
workplace conditions, communication skills, and retirement plans are among the most

In this study by Taner, Alberto, and Jin (2019) they consider the fundamental aspects

employee promotions, it is proposed to find the optimal salary increase amounts and set an
Adele et al. (2020) explained the impact of a performance-based pay scheme for
teachers in England. They examine whether the implementation of a payment scheme based
on student accomplishments increased teacher effort using data that matches students to
individual teachers and includes both test scores and value-added. Our evaluation design
accounts for student, school, and teacher effects and employs a difference-in-difference
methodology. They discovered that the scheme improved test scores and increased value
performance, but they can also have unintended and undesirable consequences, such as
teachers directing their efforts exclusively to rewarded activities. Incentives should balance
individual rewards with school incentives, fostering a cooperative culture. All teachers should
be eligible for the incentive, but only a subset of teachers should be rewarded in practice. If
too many teachers are rewarded, they may not need to put in much extra effort to benefit. He

James and John (2019) determine of both the absolute salary levels of these professors
and the most recent salary increments given to them are examined in this study, which
focuses on the influence of teaching on salary increments. It also takes into account the fact
that, due to changes in salary policy, the determinants of faculty salary increments may differ
significantly from the determinants of absolute faculty salary levels. The teaching merit
ratings are heavily influenced by student evaluations of each faculty member's instruction.
In the study by Felista, Abdhu, and Sheshu (2019) they investigate the direct
relationship between reward and employee performance, with salary, bonus, incentive,
performance serving as the dependent variable. Employee performance was found to have a
significant relationship with salary, bonuses and incentives, promotion, and recognition.
Pensions and gratuities, on the other hand, have a negative and statistically insignificant
impact on employee performance. The study made some useful recommendations, such as the
need for a fair, moderate, and dynamic pay and reward system that is reflective of the current
According to Philip and Mohammed (2021), employee retention and high turnover
rates are among the highest sunk costs for organizations, and replacing a salaried employee is
estimated to cost between 6 and 9months salary on average. This study investigates the

colleagues or coworkers, and more importantly, coworkers' support may increase employees'
productivity while also reducing errors in work. Because of market competition, increasing
employee workload appears to be a common issue in the workplace. The study aims to
investigate the relationship between workload and coworker attitude and employee job
satisfaction. A positive attitude toward coworkers was associated with a higher level of job
satisfaction.

research.
This study by Mondello and Maxcy (2019) investigates how salary distribution in
conjunction with incentive pay correlates to team success as measured by both winning and
revenue production. While the authors concentrated on the organization of interest, the same
type of analysis could be applied to other professionals who have a salary cap. Furthermore,
researchers could employ a mixed methods approach to gain a better understanding of the
organizations.
Bubb (2020) considered the standard introduction to teachers' ability to achieve work-

efficiency and productivity and also drive-up costs. Deviant behavior can be caused by things
like stress, anger, sexual assault, employee hostility, and organizational inequality. The goal
of this study is to find out how much interpersonal and organizational deviance there is in an
organization. To do this, workers were asked about their attitudes and actions at work that

Rothenberg (2020) says that measuring team performance can encourage cooperation
by rewarding team success, or it can highlight and reward individual success by encouraging
competition through relative performance evaluation. When agents are the same and have
private information, it costs more to encourage cooperation with group incentives than to
encourage competition with individual incentives. When employees work harder to reach
their goals and get a reward for it, they are more productive at work. Sometimes the reward is
the most motivating factor, but most of the time it is the recognition that inspires an employee
to work harder. Employees want to know that their leadership team recognizes and values
their efforts.

human resources components on worker job performance as well as the role of employee
knowledge easy to find, making the most of the people who work there, improving their
ability to learn, moving up in their careers, and being good leaders, were found to be linked to
better job performance by employees. Some of the links between human resource
management factors and employee job performance are mediated by employee engagement.
Vehar (2020) says that the way you get along with your boss has a big effect on how
successful you are at work. Having the right employer, however, isn't the only factor in
having a strong relationship. Both parties must make a concerted effort to establish a fruitful

experience, and judgments of justice are all positively correlated. They conducted three
studies to look into the relationship between supervisory intentions to follow justice norms
and employee personality. We conducted a dyadic field survey of employers and employees
to test the full mediation paradigm. In terms of potential responsibilities, both administrators
and staff members may seek to influence how employees perceive justice.

would also mean that they would have more work to do, which could affect their mental
health. But there hasn't been a lot of research on how corporate ESG activities and job stress
are related. The goal of this study is to fill this knowledge gap. Workplace stress and
corporate environmental activities were found to have both positive and negative links.
Baloyi (2020) says that good leaders put a lot of emphasis on employee motivation so
that their institutions or departments can reach their goals. They accomplish this by
comprehending the significance of ethical leadership or servant leadership. People who work
in toxic environments, on the other hand, frequently have little or no choice but to reduce
their energy levels and become completely demoralized as a result of the toxicity at their
workplace.

productivity.
Training and Development aims to create and put into place training methods that
improve the efficiency of the organization. Tannenbaum (2020) says that the process of
P a g e| 22
Republic of the Philippines
HOLY CROSS COLLEGE

Institute of Business Administration holycrosscollegepampanga.edu.ph
training and development has one of the most complete models. Every organization must use
a variety of methods to help employees do their jobs better and reach their goals. The impact
of training on employee performance has also been mentioned. Utilizing the desires of the
employee within the organization plays a distinct role in reaching an organizational goal.
Al-Shammari (2022) also put forth another theory. The increased workload influences
the stress levels of employees. The most challenging task at work is due to the employees'
heavy workloads and competing deadlines. Excessive workloads cause stress and exhaustion
in employees, negatively affecting their health, motivation level, and productivity. The
organizations must plan out the workload equally, evenly distributing it among the
employees, and the number of days one should complete the task should be achievable and
practical to do it to avoid burden and stress on any employee (Mohamed, 2021). Planning
things out in advance benefits employees and helps firms have efficient and healthy growth.
(Aydogdu and Asikgil, 2019; Malkoc and Dal, 2020) say that employees are more
likely to be motivated when they believe that the organization and administrator will help
them build good relationships with their coworkers. If an organization doesn't help its
employees, they might not value their relationship as much as they should. It is in
workers how well they are provided for so that they might reciprocate with increased effort.
These relationships are common, resulting in both parties working together to generate
solutions. (Columbus et al., 2020). The growth of relationships will lead to more significant

Kottke and Sharafinski (2021) Stated that supervisory support is defined as the
general perceptions of employees regarding how highly their superiors value and care about
their efforts. Agents of the organization are supervisors. Workers would take their
workplace creatively.
Incentives and recognition have long been recognized as important tools for
incentives (Ibrar and Khan, 2023). Organizations increasingly realize that they must achieve
an equal balance between the employee's contribution to the organization and the
organization's contribution to the employee. One of the primary motivations for rewarding

questionnaire with their consultant and pilot tested it to ensure its dependability. On our
research instrument, the upper part is a description of what the research is all about and an
instruction on how to answer the questionnaire. The first topic is factors that affect the
good relations with co-workers, supervisory support, and incentives and recognition. The
second topic is questions related to the factors of the workplace environment, which are the
The researchers took time to conceptualize what the title of this research study would
be. Then, the researchers made research questionnaires, which our research adviser and
technician will check. The researchers will write a letter of permission or approval to the
research adviser. After our research instructor validated the letter, the researchers will
conduct a pilot study of survey instruments to measure the factors that affect employee
performance, and to prove that it is valid and reliable. The pilot testing of the survey
instruments will be done in Holy Cross College at Sta. Lucia, Sta. Ana. A total of 30

or problem statements will then be addressed using the information collected from the
respondents, with the certainty that all the information and data collected are going to be used
solely for research purposes. The researchers adopted and adapted survey questionnaires.
The last phase of data collection procedure, researchers start counting and tallying the data
The entirety of the data will be consolidated and processed utilizing statistical
methods. The information obtained from the participants will be cross-checked, encoded,
calculated, and analyzed statistically. The accumulated facts will be converted into a practical
and employee productivity, a proportion will be employed. The proportion is suitable when it
is crucial to ascertain the number of respondents who provided a certain response. According
information that demonstrates the percentage of data points or sets of data points for each
survey answers and other data, and it is frequently depicted using bar graphs, pie charts, or
tables. The procedure requires splitting the overall number of observations into smaller parts
and then dividing the overall observations by the total number of observations. Percentages
may be used to indicate the precision of the data. A mean that takes into account the
weightage of responses will be employed to gauge the level of evaluation for employee
performance, and employee productivity. This method will compute the data's average value.
As stated by Diksha (2023) The formula for weighted mean is a statistical technique that
computes the mean by adding up the products of weights and their corresponding means. This
P a g e| 32

is a kind of mean that uses weights to assign significance to each observation and determine
their relative importance. The survey instrument for employee performance, and productivity
will be put to the test using Cronbach's alpha and Pearson R. To determine if two variables
are linearly correlated, the researcher shall utilize the Pearson R statistic.
ETHICAL CONSIDERATION
The researchers will use the ethical principles that Bryman and Bell (2019) came up
with. The people who take part in this study will not be hurt in any way, and their dignity will
be respected above all else. Before the study starts, the research adviser and college
department teachers at Holy Cross College will be asked for their full consent. Also, the
privacy of research participants will be protected, and the study data will be kept secret.
Individuals and organizations will also be kept anonymous. During the study, it will be very
important not to lie or exaggerate about the goals and objectives of the study. Conflicts of
interest, funding sources, and affiliations will also be discussed. Additionally, inaccurate
representations of the primary data results and misleading information will be avoided.
