Solo Parent Employees' Awareness of Republic Act 8972 and Work Performance in Xyz Corporation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study explored the awareness of solo parent employees within XYZ Corporation regarding the Solo Parents' Welfare Act of 2000 (RA 8972) and its impact on their work performance. The research focused on three variables: Legal Literacy, Privileges and Benefits, and Factors affecting the Act's implementation. The study applied Legal Consciousness Theory and Social Exchange Theory to understand how awareness of legal rights influenced behavior and decision-making in the workplace. It also explored the employees' performance across Task Performance, Contextual Performance, and Counterproductive Work Behavior (CWB). Using a researcher-made survey and a sample of 59 employees, the study found a modest positive correlation between awareness of RA 8972 and work performance (r values between .164 and .315). Statistical analysis confirmed a significant relationship (p-values of .015, .041, and .045), suggesting that greater awareness could improve performance. The study recommended an action plan to enhance the Solo Parent Awareness Program at XYZ Corporation, aiming to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for solo parent employees, ultimately boosting their work performance and well-being.
