Business Management

The researchers investigated the correlation between work motivation, job satisfaction, and performance of banana plantation employees. The researchers selected 127 banana plantation field workers as respondents. They were from the ANFLO banana plantation located in Brgy. Taytayan, Cateel, Davao Oriental. The study adopted a quantitative descriptive correlational research design. The level of work motivation of banana plantation employees in terms of intrinsic motivation gained a grand mean of 3.98 or high, and extrinsic motivation yielded a grand mean of 3.50 or high. It was also found that the level of work performance of banana plantation employees in terms of task performance earned a grand mean of 3.89 or high, contextual performance yielded 3.3 or high, and counterproductive behavior yielded 3.49 or high. The level of compensation and welfare benefits was high, which meant that when the employees were highly satisfied with the pay their management provided, their work motivation was higher. To enhance the quality of the work performance of the workers, the managers or employers have to establish and nourish their extrinsic motivation.
