This study examines the relationship between quality of work life (QWL) and employee performance in a specific industry (e.g., manufacturing, healthcare, etc.). Utilizing a mixed methods approach, the research combines quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing employee performance. The study surveyed 70 participants, revealing a diverse demographic profile. The majority of respondents were male (57.10%) and aged between 26-35 years (55.70%). The data analysis focused on identifying the correlation between QWL factors, such as job morale, safety, and work environment, and employee performance. In-depth interviews were conducted with two employees and two managers to gain a deeper understanding of the subjective experiences and perceptions of QWL. The interviews explored the impact of various QWL factors on employee motivation, job satisfaction, and overall performance. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between QWL and employee performance, indicating that improved QWL leads to increased employee performance. The study identified several key QWL factors that significantly impact employee performance, including: Job Morale a healthy work environment, fair treatment by supervisors, and opportunities for continuous learning contribute to high job morale and improved performance. Safety employees who feel secure and safe in their work environment are more likely to perform at their best. Information Sharing employees who feel empowered to express their opinions and contribute to decision-making processes demonstrate higher levels of engagement and performance. Human Resources Support a responsive and effective human resources department that addresses employee needs and concerns fosters trust and improves performance. Workplace Amenities adequate office furniture and a comfortable work environment contribute to employee well-being and performance. The findings suggest that organizations should prioritize QWL initiatives to enhance employee performance and achieve organizational goals. By fostering a positive work environment, providing adequate support, and empowering employees, organizations can create a culture that attracts and retains top talent, leading to improved productivity and overall success. The study is limited by its sample size and specific industry focus. Further research is needed to generalize the findings to other industries and populations. Future research should explore the long-term impact of QWL initiatives on employee performance, retention, and organizational success. Additionally, investigating the role of cultural factors and organizational leadership in shaping QWL and its impact on employee performance is crucial. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study was conducted to describe the solid waste management of selected higher education institution in the city of Dasmariñas, Cavite. Specifically, it aimed to describe the school characteristics of private colleges; describe the types and volume of solid waste generated daily by the private colleges; determine the solid waste management practices employed by the private colleges for different type of solid wastes; identify the problems encountered by the private colleges on solid waste management; identify the solid waste management policies complied by the private colleges; and determine if there is a relationship between solid waste generated and school characteristics. The participant schools were 29 private colleges in the City of Dasmariñas, Cavite. The respondents are the Pollution Control Officer or the person in-charged of solid waste management of private colleges in Cavite. There was also the participation of 200 students divided proportionally by the number of private colleges to make the study more reliable. Most of the respondents revealed that among the top solid waste that they generate is recyclable wastes in Rank 1; followed by biodegradable wastes then hazardous wastes. The least generated among the wastes is residual waste, all of them generated less than 25kg of residual wastes per day. They used various ways of storing their wastes but the most used is garbage bags, with regards to the collection/transportation of solid wastes to disposal sites, most schools relied on the local government units and only a handful were in contract with private firms to collect and transport their solid waste. Solid wastes from these schools are collected by LGU's weekly and private firms on a daily basis. Schools also employed certain methods of disposing of their wastes. Most of them chose land filling as their own way of disposal (48.28%). The rest used open dumping, composting, and incineration. From the study it was also found that the type/volume of solid wastes generated by schools is significantly associated with the schools' years of existence, population of students, faculty and staff, and operation hours per day.
