CONCLUSION: Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were made: Majority of the respondents are female. This is due to the nature of job which is more on caring for patients. Most of the respondents are single and the respondents are college graduate, this may be due to the hospital's preference in favor of those nurses who have more experiences. Among the factors affecting job satisfaction, the relationship with co- nurses and other staff is given high consideration by the respondents. The demographic profile such as gender, age, civil status, highest educational attainment, hospital areas and employment status are not significantly related to the factors affecting job satisfaction. RECOMMENDATION: In view of the findings and conclusions derived from this study, the following recommendations are offered: 1. The administration should continuously recognize the importance of its staff nurses as a vital part of the institution. It is recommended that the following be observed in order to achieve higher level of job satisfaction that would in turn be translated to higher level of job performance. The good rapport among the hospital administrators, nurses and other employees should be maintained in order to achieve harmonious working relationships. The hospital policies should continuously be made more responsive to the needs of all the members of the institution to ensure that the people perform what is expected of them and at the same time to make them feel that their needs are also recognized and valued. The hospital should maintain an effective recognition system in order to uplift the morale of its work force. The working condition should be constantly improved so as to ensure the health and safety of the employees. The hospital should develop an updated salaries and benefits system to be able to provide commensurate pay to its human resources. Since this factor was found out to be the least of the factors affecting job satisfaction, it should be given the top priority if the hospital wants its employees to be more satisfied in their job. 2. The nurses should continuously seek personal and career development for them to be at pace with the changing trends in the nursing service. This may also boost their morale and self-esteem and eventually their feeling of satisfaction in the field that they have chosen. They should be sent to seminars and trainings and other enrichment activities that could make them more equipped to do their tasks in the hospital. They should also be open to changes and challenges. 3. Regular job analysis should be implemented in order to monitor the job performances of the employees; to evaluate the work performed against what is expected; to install appropriate rewards system; to update job designs; and to find out if the employees are satisfied with their work or not. For the future researchers to conduct the same kind of study utilizing a larger number of respondents and a wider scope of place of study in order to support, supplement, prove or disapprove the results of this research.
